Refugee Shabbat February 10!


In partnership with HIAS, we will dedicate Shabbat learning to expanding our understanding of Jewish insights regarding refugees and the current context.


On Shabbat, February 10 at PSJC:

  • During Shabbat morning services, our Rabbinic Fellow Talia Kaplan will give a d'var Torah in which she will frame issues of refugee resettlement through the lens of the week's Torah portion, Mishpatim.

  • At 1:00 PM, Merrill Zack, HIAS Vice-President for Community Engagement and Executive Director of HIAS NY will join us in-person to provide an update on the

  • evolving landscape for refugees and asylum seekers, current advocacy priorities, and how PSJC members can help advance these priorities and the wellbeing of migrants in our community and beyond.

  • We will also be joined by Rebecca Press, Senior Counsel at Central American Legal Assistance and Co-Founder of Co-Counsel NYC. Rebecca has worked with NYC's immigrant communities for over two decades and will be able to answer questions about the situation of migrants in New York City and legal service providers' responses to their legal needs.


This event is open to the community; please invite friends and neighbors interested in immigration and refugee issues. Contact Laura Wolff (laurarscf@aol.com) and

Swimming pool enclosures can provide homeowners with more flexibility in how they use outdoor space. Instead of viewing the pool as a seasonal feature, an enclosure can help create an environment that is useful under a broader range of weather conditions. The design can include comfortable seating, ventilation, lighting, and convenient access. While an enclosure cannot control every environmental factor, thoughtful construction can make the pool area more adaptable and https://www.coversinplay.com enjoyable for regular swimming and relaxation.

Shipping boxes require a careful balance between durability and efficiency. Custom manufacturers can select board grades and construction styles according to the expected weight and shipping conditions. Stronger packaging may be appropriate for heavier or fragile products, while lighter materials can work for less demanding applications. Box dimensions should also account for protective materials https://boxes4products.com/ when necessary. By evaluating product characteristics and shipping requirements, businesses can order packaging that provides appropriate protection without adding unnecessary material or weight.

This post highlights a meaningful approach to learning and action around refugee issues, especially how Shabbat discussions connect Torah values with real-world advocacy. While I was working in a corporate office Jeddah, I often saw how conversations around migration and work visas shaped everyday workplace discussions, which made these themes feel closer to me. It reinforces how justice-centered learning influence how we see people’s movement and dignity in different settings.
