Emergency Response in Israel: A Conversation with HIAS’ Mark Hetfield 

Join HIAS President & CEO Mark Hetfield for Erev Shabbat services at Temple Judea to hear about HIAS’ emergency response in Israel. 

Since 1950, HIAS’ work in Israel is led and staffed by a team of Israelis who work closely with Israeli civil society to protect and support refugees so they can build new lives and reunite with family members in safety and freedom.

Mark will share how HIAS is rising to help Israelis in this critical time, rooted in the agency’s experience with crisis response from places as varied as Ukraine, Chad, and Venezuela.
