Litigation v. Conversation: Rabbi Brad Hirschfield on Discrimination in the Workplace

This week the U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments in a case involving a young Muslim woman and Abercrombie and Fitch.  Samantha Elauf’s attorneys claim she was discriminated against when she was not hired because she wore a hijab, which violates the retailer’s “Look” policy.  Rabbi Brad Hirschfield, president of Clal and co-founder and executive editor of TheWisdomDaily.com, says that maybe what we need is not so much litigation, but “to imagine bigger and talk more” in an increasingly diverse culture.
