Sunday, March 11, 10:30 am 

Special Guest Speaker at GRS  

Senator Richard Blumenthal 

 

Please join us this Sunday morning at 10:30 am as  

Greenwich Reform Synagogue  

welcomes a very special guest speaker,  

GRS Congregant, Senator Richard Blumenthal.

 

"Having been a member of this synagogue for many years and celebrated my children's Bar and Bat Mitzvahs here, I have seen the congregation's focus on education, activism, and giving back to the community. These values and the vibrant spirit of the Greenwich Reform Synagogue have inspired young people to be active and involved in community and public service."

 

The Senator will speak to our adults and teens on his recent trip to the Middle East and will reveal what inspired him to enter politics.

   

Senator Blumenthal served an unprecedented five terms as Connecticut's Attorney General, fighting for people against large and powerful special interests, before becoming elected to his first term as a United States Senator from Connecticut.

Prior to his position as U.S. Attorney, Senator Blumenthal also served as Administrative Assistant to U.S. Senator Abraham A. Ribicoff, aide to former U.S. Senator Daniel P. Moynihan when Moynihan was Assistant to the President of the United States, and law clerk to Supreme Court Justice Harry A. Blackmun.

Senator Blumenthal graduated from Harvard College (Phi Beta Kappa, Magna Cum Laude), and Yale Law School, where he was Editor-in-Chief of the Yale Law Journal. From 1970 to 1976 he served in the United States Marine Corps Reserves, and was honorably discharged with the rank of Sergeant.
 
Senator Blumenthal lives in Greenwich, Connecticut with his wife, Cynthia, and their four children.
