A JEWISH VOICE IN SUPPORT OF REFUGEES
Monday, May 13th at 7:00 pm
I.J. & Jeanné Wagner Jewish Community Center
2 N Medical Drive, Salt Lake City

Please join Utah Jews for Refugees to find out about meaningful service opportunities at the volunteer fair beginning at 7:00 pm. At 7:45 pm, hear from local and national leaders about how we can welcome people who are seeking refuge and be part of the powerful Jewish voice in support of today’s refugees and asylum seekers. In the wake of the tragic shooting in Poway, it is more important than ever that we stand in solidarity with our neighbors and act from a place of compassion.
Speakers include: Rabbi Samuel L. Spector of Congregation Kol Ami, Mayor Jackie Biskupski, Aden Batar of Catholic Community Services Utah, and State Representative Patrice Arent.

The Hadassah Greater Salt Lake Chapter is organizing a feminine hygiene drive for Refugee women.
Please support their efforts by bringing feminine hygiene items to this event.

We are excited to have beautiful, new chairs in our Main Sanctuary, adding comfort and aesthetic appeal to our worship experience.

These chairs are where we, as a community, will sit together in unity to pray, to learn, and to celebrate many Simchas . In these chairs, our community members will sit at difficult moments, no longer having to be uncomfortable as they remember a loved one in anticipation of Kaddish .

Though donating a chair does not ensure that specific seat will be reserved for the donor, it does ensure that for decades to come, people will be able to come into our sanctuary and see the donor’s generosity and communal investment.
Thank you to everyone that came out to celebrate the end of the school year! See the pictures . Keep an eye out for registration info for next year.
RSRS appreciates the support of Congregation Kol Ami and the United Jewish Federation of Utah. Contact Cantor Bat-Sarah for more details.
