WELCOME THE STRANGER 
Journey from Afghanistan to Sacramento — An Afternoon of Tea and a Taste of Afghan Food

Congregation B’nai Israel’s Immigration and Refugee Assistance Committee Fundraiser to Support the Habibi Family | Cosponsored by Women of B’nai Israel and the CBI Brotherhood

Sunday, November 3, 2024 | 3:00 – 5:00 PM | CBI Social Hall

• Join us for a delightful afternoon tea with a taste of Afghan food.
• Bar Mitzvah student Shael Pruger will welcome the Habibi family. His Mitzvah Project is Welcome the Stranger and he will discuss how that looks and feels in modern times.
• Hear about the WHY, the HOW, and the WHERE of the Habibi’s JOURNEY from Afghanistan to SACRAMENTO during interviews with family members.
• Plus, who is an Accredited Representative in the search for asylum? Diana Maldonado will speak about the role of an Accredited Representative in an asylum case.

We ask for a tax-deductible donation to attend this fundraiser of either $18, $36, or $72 per ticket. Students and refugee guests may attend free of charge. All proceeds will go to CBI's Immigration and Refugee Assistance Committee to support the Habibi Family.

 

Please note: when you make a donation online using a credit card, you will be asked during the payment process if you'd like to include a "convenience fee." The convenience fee (approximately 2.7% of the transaction) helps us offset processing costs of your payment.
