The last few years have roused the world to the tragic reality of displacement and exile. Stories and pictures across social media have put faces on the millions of people who have fled their homes or been forcibly moved. The Jewish people are all too familiar with these stories. From crossing deserts in search of a home to fleeing genocide, we have relived the experience of exodus time and again. Today, those stories motivate many people to offer refuge – and some to seek it from us.  

How does this awareness translate to the current reality? How should American Jewish communities support immigrants, refugees and Asylees? And how has our story inspired others to act and even seek our aid? 

Join HIAS PA and New Israel Fund to explore these questions and more with activists, community lay-leaders, and asylees themselves
