This statement by the Executive Council of the Rabbinical Assembly of America examines the contentious issue of religious observance within American public education systems. The document employs a position paper methodology, analyzing the constitutional and practical implications of introducing religious content into secular educational environments. The authors argue that while the global crisis and moral concerns of the 1940s have prompted educators to consider religious instruction as a solution, such integration fundamentally contradicts American democratic principles of church-state separation. The analysis demonstrates particular concern regarding public school celebration of religious festivals, especially Christmas observances that compel Jewish students to participate in activities contrary to their faith traditions. The study concludes that formal religious instruction in public schools would necessarily favor particular denominations, thereby violating civil liberties and educational neutrality. The authors advocate for objective education about religious tolerance while maintaining strict separation between religious instruction and state-sponsored education. The findings emphasize that religious education remains the responsibility of homes and voluntary denominational organizations rather than public institutions. This position paper contributes to ongoing debates about religious freedom, educational policy, and the preservation of pluralistic democratic values in American society.
