As part of an effort to build a constituency that supports immigration reform, Temple Emanuel hosted Immigration: Moving Beyond the Partisan Divide with special participation from Rabbi Sarah Bassin, Bishop David O'Connell, Shukry Cattan of the Tiyya Foundation, and the Industrial Areas Foundation National Co-Director, Ernesto Cortes, Jr.
Conference attendees discussed moral and economic arguments in support of immigration, and highlighted local efforts to support immigrants and refugees. A citizenship class project initiated by Temple Judea and Our Lady of Grace inspired many leaders to consider following suit. [Photo Credit: Rafael Paz]
