Back in July, we gathered to talk with HIAS CEO Beth Oppenheim. Today HIAS’s 700 employees provide resettlement support to 1.5 million people across 14 countries in the Americas, Europe, and Africa. In these conversations with Skirball President and CEO Jessie Kornberg, Beth shared how that work is evolving and the core challenges she faces. We ask ourselves in what way can our communities explore solutions?

Shabbat, also known as the Sabbath, is the weekly time of rest and celebration that is central to Jewish life. Shabbat begins every Friday at sunset with the lighting of candles and blessings over Challah bread and wine in a Kiddush cup. The following day at sunset marks the end of Shabbat with a Havdalah ceremony that also includes blessings over wine in a Kiddush cup, sweet smelling spices, and lighting a multi-wicked candle.
