Bridgewater Couple Honored for Support of International Judaism Group

Temple Beth-El honored Betty and Arthur Roswell, of Bridgewater.

Betty and Arthur Roswell, Bridgewater were honored by Temple Beth-El, Hillsborough, during Shabbat services on April 22 and 23 for their dedication to the World Union for Progressive Judaism.

 The World Union functions in 47 countries, promoting an inclusive, welcoming, egalitarian expression of Jewish life. The Roswells have been instrumental in promoting the work of the World Union in the former Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, and in Israel, traveling extensively in pursuit of this cause, and giving generously of their time, energy and resources. 

The Talmudic aphorism, “All Jews are responsible for one another,” is the guiding principal that motivates the Roswells, the World Union, and the congregation of Temple Beth-El in remaining strongly connected to the Jewish world and supporting Progressive Judaism beyond our local zip codes.
