HIAS’ Seventh Annual Refugee Shabbat is an opportunity to recognize the profound impact of the global Jewish movement working on behalf of refugees, asylum seekers, and displaced people. People seeking asylum are being turned away at borders around the world. The number of forcibly displaced people has grown to over 120 million.
Refugee Shabbat is a critical moment to reaffirm and redouble our support for refugees, asylum seekers, and the forcibly displaced.
Our own Kol Shalom member, Sabrina Lustgarten, COO of HIAS, will speak with the congregation.
