    As a Youth Organizing Fellow with the Americans United for the Separation of Church and State, one goal of the program is to put on an educational event in our community. I was born and raised in Brookline, and living again at home has driven me to educate my neighbors about the importance of religious freedom and church state separation. Under G-d and the panel following the screening aims to provide a perspective on the importance of church-state separation and its threats in America today.
