Fabrangen is Awarded the 2025 HIAS Leadership Pathways Award!
Congratulations to the Fabrangen Refugee & Immigrant Committee – and all of us!
From HIAS:
Mazel tov and thank you for who you are and what you do. HIAS is honored to bestow Fabrangen Havurah with the Leadership Pathways Award for your extraordinary work helping people who have been forcibly displaced from their homes.
At an unparalleled moment in human history with more than 120 million people who have had to flee their homes, you have embraced a central tenet of Torah to welcome the stranger. The attacks on immigrants of all statuses in the United States has made this year particularly difficult for those committed to these values. But in the face of such devastation, communities like yours represent the best of lived Jewish values . . .
Even in times of overwhelming darkness and challenge, we are a people defined by relentless hope. Thank you for continuing to remind us of that. Let us not only pray but continue to act toward building a world of peace, security, and tranquility– for the Jewish people and every human being.
Congratulations and thank you again,
Rabbi Sarah Bassin
Rabbi in Residence, HIAS
