From Crisis to Hope: The Refugee Story and Our Jewish Advocacy Responsibility 

Welcoming the stranger is a core principle of Judaism and an American ideal. Both emphasize the need for fair and equal treatment of those who flee war, oppression, and inhumane circumstances, seeking asylum and refuge. How can we better understand the experiences of individuals who are forcibly displaced from their homeland?

Join a conversation with former refugees, advocates, and service providers to explore these questions and how to move forward.
