In discussing opportunities for social justice, one 8th grade student from UNION TEMPLE in Brooklyn, New York, articulated that "chasing justice and peace is like a dog chasing its tail...you keep running in circles." Another noted, "Just when you think you've reached your goal, something else stands in your way - and you are forced to continue the chase..." It is true – the pursuit of justice is a never ending process. There will always be social and political issues to which we can commit our time and vast amounts of people whose lives we can better. Despite our challenges, we must continue to urge our youth to join us in the task of repairing the world.
