Four leading voices on this critically important and timely subject – Mark Hetfield, president and CEO of HIAS, Dr. Georgette F. Bennett, founder and president of the Tanenbaum Center for Interreligious Understanding, Shadi Martini, himself a Syrian refugee and activist, and now Senior Syria Advisor at the Multifaith Alliance for Syrian Refugees, and Will Recant, Assistant Executive Vice-President of the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee – shared their perspectives as part of this important roundtable event. The program was hosted by the Museum at Eldridge Street, the magnificent Lower East Side synagogue that provided spiritual renewal and safe haven for the first wave of Jewish immigrants escaping Eastern Europe.
