HIAS Refugee Weekend 2024

What is HIAS Refugee Shabbat?

Join us at CBS in supporting the global Jewish movement for refugee protection and welcome. As borders turn away asylum seekers and climate change worsens existing challenges, it's crucial to reaffirm our commitment to refugees and take a moment to reflect and celebrate our progress.
