Description

Washington State Supreme Court Justice Raquel Montoya-Lewis joins Rabbi Matt and Raviv to discuss justice, community, and the resources needed to enact mercy. Justice Montoya-Lewis is the first Native American to serve on the Washington State Supreme Court, and the second Native American to serve on a state supreme court nationwide. She previously served as Chief Judge for the Lummi, Nooksack, and Upper Skagit tribes, giving her a holistic understanding of social and legal issues affecting Native Americans and indigenous peoples. Justice Montoya-Lewis will also share her thoughts on some of the key differences between serving on indigenous versus state/federal courts, and in doing so will thoughtfully critique aspects of the contemporary judicial system in relation to this parsha's tension between justice and mercy.
