This weekend, the entire world marks #25Years since "Gimmel Tammuz," the day the Lubavitcher #Rebbe passed on in 1994. Tomorrow, #Shabbat, will be a day for reflection, learning, prayer and, above all, positive action. Which #mitzvah will you do to honor the Rebbe? #GimmelTammuz

Kudos to my colleague Julian Adler, Marie VanNostrand, Insha Rahman, and Liz Glazer for a nuanced, fair-minded conversation about risk assessment in the criminal justice system m.youtube.com/watch?time_con… @CrimJusticeNYC @verainstitute @AlephInstitute
