Voices of Asylum Seekers in Israel 

Sunday, February 16

7:00 PM

An evening about Judaism, Refugees and Social Justice in Israel.

Join us for an exclusive opportunity to hear Barik (27) and Izadeen (21), young asylum seekers from Darfur, tell their remarkable life stories.

Learn about their escape from Sudan and the hazardous journey across the Sinai into Israel, and the current situation they’re facing Israel today. Eran Baruch, BINA: The Jewish Movement for Social Change’s Executive Director, will share what BINA is doing to help and will lead a discussion about Israel’s approach to refugees since the establishment of the State.
