Refugee Shabbat
“Judaism teaches us not to see the refugee crisis as 110 million people, but as one person, and another… each person equally deserving of rights and equally and infinitely holy.” —Rebecca Kirzner of HIAS at CBST’s Refugee Shabbat services
CBST was deeply honored to welcome Rebecca Kirzner as our guest speaker this year, in our role as the national host community for HIAS’ annual Refugee Shabbat.
