Rabbi Joshua Ben-Gideon travelled to the Texas/Mexico border at El Paso/Ciudad Juarez with a group of Jewish clergy from around the country. HIAS (Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society) and T’ruah (Jewish Clergy united for human rights), organized the trip. Rabbi Ben-Gideon visited shelters for asylum seekers in Mexico and the Otero County ICE Detention facility. He met with refugees and was briefed by the ICE facility warden, immigration lawyers, a federal prosecutor and others. Please join him on Sunday, November 24th as he shares what he learned, the stories of refugees he encountered, and photographs of the conditions asylum seekers live in. Sunday Nov. 24, 7 pm at Beth David Synagogue.
