On the same day a new executive order that reinstates a temporary ban on all refugees and bans immigration from six Muslim-majority countries goes into effect, David Miliband, president and CEO of the International Rescue Committee and former UK foreign secretary, will speak at 91快播 on the global refugee crisis and how communities of faith can respond to the most serious refugee crisis since World War II.
The free public lecture is hosted by 91快播鈥檚 Louis Finkelstein Institute, which brings together great thinkers from diverse academic, social, political, and religious spheres to wrestle with the most urgent challenges of the day, such as the current refugee crisis we face globally. The event will draw members from both the Jewish community as well as the interfaith community.
The event comes just before Passover, a holiday which marks one of the first known crises of refugees.
Following David Miliband鈥檚 speech, there will be a discussion led by Rebecca Bardach, the former director and senior protection officer of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, as well as a Q & A.
