Some 50 Jewish high school students from the Solomon Schechter Academy on Long Island, N.Y. are scheduled to lead a Jewish contingent of protesters marching in a Racial Justice Day rally Tuesday in New York City against abuse and violence by police. The rally is also expected to include other Jews from city- area schools and synagogues who are being organized by a group known as Jews for Racial and Economic Justice.
