As we gather during Passover—a time of reflection on freedom, justice, and the journey from oppression to redemption—join us for a special Brunch & Learn exploring these themes through the lens of modern immigration.
We are honored to welcome Sarah Sentilles and Becky Lopez from the Alliance of Idaho, a nonprofit dedicated to advocating for immigrant rights and providing legal support to families in our community. The Alliance of Idaho has strong ties to members of our community. Their work resonates deeply with the Exodus narrative, reminding us of the enduring struggle for dignity, security, and belonging.
