Social Responsibility

Welcoming New Neighbors

All ages

Support refugees, asylum-seekers, and forced migrants in the DMV.

Overview

We are committed to Judaism’s call of welcoming the stranger and support refugees, asylum seekers, migrants, and undocumented individuals seeking a better life in our community. We do this through setting up refugee apartments, creating toiletry kits, packing groceries, and providing other support to our partner organizations working with new arrivals.
