Rebuild Sanctuary: A Tisha b’Av Action on Immigration (organized by T’ruah, JALSA & RAC-MA)

Join Cantor Vera, other T’ruah clergy, & MA Jewish community at the Burlington ICE Field Office as we mourn & call one another to protect the dignity of immigrants. As we mourn the destruction of the Temples in Jerusalem, times of devastating loss and dislocation for the Jewish people, we call on our leaders to actively resist the federal assault on the dignity, safety and wellbeing of immigrants in our community. We reject the weaponization of Jewish fear into a tool for dismantling civil liberties and instead uphold the tenets of our faith that compel us to protect and stand with marginalized communities. To rebuild sanctuary in the Commonwealth, we ask that our Massachusetts elected officials– including Governor Healey and members of the legislature– do everything in their power to protect immigrants and build a Commonwealth that upholds the dignity and safety of all people. This action is organized by T’ruah, JALSA and RAC-MA; Congregation Beth El is a cosponsoring organization. 

Join us at the ICE Field Office, 1000 District Ave. Burlington, MA on August 3rd at 4:30. Click here to register.
