Online Meeting: How can our Reconstructionist Communities Help Immigrants, Refugees, and Asylum Seekers?
Oct. 24
12 p.m. - 1:15 p.m. EDT
What are concrete ways that Reconstructionist affiliates can get involved with the immigration crisis? How can communities aid immigrants, refugees and asylum seekers? Our Tikkun Olam Commission has organized a call to help deepen your community's tikkun olam work around these important, interrelated issues. Rabbi Renee Brauer and Carrie Fox-Kline of Jewish Social Services of Madison, Wis., and Rebecca Kirzner of HIAS will join members of the Tikkun Olam Commission to share their strategies and experiences.
Join us by Zoom to learn practical steps Jewish communities are taking to make a difference in the lives of countless people looking for a welcoming home. To register for the call, please click here.
