HIAS National Refugee Shabbat

SAVE THE DATE! This October, Temple Israel will be a proud participant in HIAS’ National Refugee Shabbat, during which Jews across the country will take action for refugees.

In the face of unprecedented attempts to close America’s doors to those seeking freedom from violence and persecution, this is a critical moment to give voice to our values as Jews and as Americans.

Over the Shabbat of October 19-20, 2018, the American Jewish community will dedicate sacred time and space to refugees and asylum seekers. Together, we will learn about the global refugee crisis, connect to the national Jewish movement for refugees, celebrate local acts of welcome and recommit to putting our values into action.

Friday, 10/19 (6pm

• Community Sabbath Dinner and Worship Service

Saturday, 10/20 (10am-7pm)

• Bible Study and Worship
• Community Potluck Lunch
• Concerts by the Swahili Children’s Choir and Hot Tamale
