Coalition for Jewish Values praises President Trump’s nominee to succeed Justice Kennedy on the Supreme Court.

The Coalition for Jewish Values, a rabbinic public-policy organization, also welcomed the decision, saying that the travel ban upheld by the Supreme Court “focuses upon countries that harbor both terrorism and hatred for America.”

The CJV further called attention to its statement made last year, when another American group was refused entry: “Israel’s decision is prudent, reasonable, and entirely justified. No government is expected to welcome those who advocate for that nation’s destruction.”

‘The Jewish people have survived for millennia because of, and only because of, our adherence to our unique traditions,’ added Rabbi Pesach Lerner, President of the CJV.

The Coalition for Jewish Values, a rabbinic public-policy organization, welcomed the decision, saying that the travel ban upheld by the Supreme Court “focuses upon countries that harbor both terrorism and hatred for America, and which lack procedures necessary to identify and exclude possible threats. The president’s policy is not merely legal, but correct and praiseworthy.”

‘There is no way to reform an organization from the inside when its very core is corrupt.’
