Because we truly want to be Ansche Chesed – People of Loving Kindness – and we believe in our mandate to Welcome the Stranger. Our community contains the resources needed to help families resettle in our city and can effectively fill a needed role in refugee resettlement.
We also believe that both as a community and as individuals we will learn from this process of direct engagement, creative thinking, and ethically-based responsibility as we reach across cultural divides to work with real human beings in need and help families different from - and also so like - our own.
