Future Book Club Books:
We have all been thinking a lot lately about the plight of refugees and how we as individuals and as a congregation can tailor our response. What can we do to help?
During Refugee Shabbat, February 3rd-4th, Jews will collectively reckon with American willingness – today and in our recent past – to provide a safe haven to those in need of safety, and to celebrate the work of our Jewish movement for refugees through joy and power.
Friday, February 3, at 7PM on Zoom
it is our pleasure and honor to host:
Patrick Barry, State Refugee Coordinator,
Office of New Americans, NJDHS.
Pat will be presenting an overview of refugees, current trends, and background on the Office of New Americans (ONA).
To view the ONA website, click here:
https://www.nj.gov/humanservices/njnewamericans/
Afterwards he will devote 20 minutes to answering your questions.
To streamline the program, all questions must be submitted in advance. Please email questions to Carol Janes,
at kneidljanes@gmail.com by January 26.
This labor of love is brought to you by your
Temple Sinai Social Action Committee.
