On the left-hand side of the graphic a portrait ofRabbi Evan Sheinhait is seen with a close-up image of red, white and blue "VOTE" button is in the background. One the right-hand side of the image in large white with a blue stoke lettering reads "WHY I VOTE" laid over a slate colored background.

The graphic then cuts to video ofRabbi Evan Sheinhait seated. A lower third graphic with their name and title transition on briefly -

"Rabbi Evan Sheinhait, Reform Senior Jewish Educator"

They address the camera:

"I'm Rabbi Evan and I'm on the team at Brandeis Hillel.

I vote because as a Jew, I am taught that voting is a privilege.

From the very origins of Jewish society we know that there are people who had power and those who didn't and it is on all of us to make sure that justice and equality exist.

Many of my ancestors before coming to the United States knew that they were not represented in their governments.

And so it is my responsibility to not only make sure my voice is heard but to lift of the voices of everyone in society so our elected officials know that we want a society that is for the people, by the people.

So this November, make sure you vote and make your voice heard."

The video then transitions out to show a white background where blue text reading "Brandeis University" fades into the screen. A few frames later the text "go.brandeis.edu/votedeis" also fades into the screen after a few seconds the screen fades to black.
