Description
Jewish institutions and Palo Alto Friends Meeting invite the broader community to a vigil in prayerful protest of the inhumane policies toward immigrants and refugees. This is part of a national Jewish effort connecting the 9 th of Av (Aug 11), the annual day of mourning over Jewish suffering throughout history, with the experience of today’s immigrants. The Jewish vigil will lead directly into a Quaker Public Worship with a Concern for Immigrants and Refugees, in which participants will gather in silence to listen to the Spirit which guides human affairs and inspires both immediate words and future action.
T'ruah: The Rabbinic Call for Human Rights, in cooperation with Bend the Arc South Bay, Multifaith Voices for Peace and Justice, Beth Am, Etz Chayim, Keddem, Kol Emeth, Jewish Community Relations Council, National Council for Jewish Women, Palo Alto Friends Meeting, and Sisterhood of Salaam Shalom.
