Community Events and Announcements |
|
In collaboration with Home is Here NOLA, Touro Synagogue’s Project Reyacha is actively supporting asylum seekers arriving to the Greater New Orleans community. Touro is a “community support organization”. The need is great and there are many ways to lend support including through financial donations, medical and legal support, transportation assistance, and donations of household furniture and other items. Housing and food (both cooked and kitchen supplies) are always a need as well. Direct engagement with these new community members is also needed in order to support new community members’ success in their new homeland. Touro Synagogue welcomes non-Touro members as volunteers in this initiative.
Please contact Jill Israel, Touro Synagogue Project Reycha Coordinator, jisraelnola@gmail.com (504) 782-1199. Feel free to contact Ali Simon or Davida Finger for additional information.
