Refugee Shabbat 2023, which will take place on February 3-4, is a moment for congregations, organizations and individuals in the United States and around the world to dedicate a Shabbat experience to refugees and asylum seekers. This past year has seen millions of people displaced from and within Ukraine, asylum seekers turned away from borders and over 100 million people displaced from their homes for the first time in history. This is a critical moment for all of us to reaffirm and redouble our support for refugees and asylum seekers. | |
