Join Sephardic Heritage International- DC (SHIN DC) and partners for an evening of music and festivities to raise awareness of the Syrian and other refugee crises. SHIN's annual Hanukkah program is inspired by a Syrian Jewish narrative that Sephardic refugees began lighting an extra flame each night of Hanukkah to commemorate the security & tolerance they found in Aleppo, following expulsion from Spain in 1492.
Syrian American musician Asher Shasho Levy to be featured!
Kosher Syrian Hanukkah treats | Hanukkah lighting with a special guest TBA to light the extra flame | Receive information about ways each of us can help refugees in the U.S. and around the world.
Partners from HIAS and other refugee-supporting organizations will join us. We also hope that UDC David A. Clarke School of Law students who have worked with refugees as part of the UDC Cara Pro Bono Project can share about their experiences. We would also like students at local universities who are refugees to share their narratives. Contact info@shindc.org to share (limited based on time available).
