Dan Altman, a member of our congregation, will be speaking this Friday evening about the humanitarian crisis that has unfolded due to the emergence of ISIS and the Syrian civil war. Dan has traveled in the region extensively and will talk about the conditions on the ground inside Iraq and Syria as well as how millions of refugees have been absorbed into the surrounding countries as well as the perilous journey many have taken to Europe (and what they have found upon arrival). Dan will also talk about refugee resettlement activities in the US including ongoing efforts by Adat Reyim to welcome a recently arrived refugee from Afghanistan.
