On World Refugee Day, let us remember our own history

By Avi Rose, Executive Director of Jewish Family and Children’s Services of the East Bay in California

For World Refugee Day on June 20, HIAS and our local partners are urging the Jewish community to remember our own history and lend our voices to support refugees. Avi Rose, executive director of Jewish Family and Children’s Services of the East Bay in California asks readers to call their Congressional representatives and co-sign the Refugee Protection Act, a bill that would reform the lengthy approval processes for qualified refugees to be approved for resettlement in the U.S.
