Summer Sova Food Drive SOVA is a nonsectarian program of Jewish Family Service of Los Angeles, dedicated to alleviating hunger and poverty in the community through food distribution and offering a wide range of supportive services.

As we go back to in-person service, we ask you to pay your personal tribute toward a world without hunger.

Tzedek Council Update The Biden administration has raised this year’s refugee admissions numbers and laid the groundwork for increased capacity to welcome refugees in the years ahead. Historically, congregations around the U.S. have played an essential role in supporting refugee families as they integrate into their new communities, and the opportunity to resume that important work is a now tangible reality. Join us on Wednesday July 14 at 1:00 PM PT to explore - or re-engage with - what congregational sponsorship of newly arriving refugees looks like. We will hear from HIAS resettlement staff and from two synagogues that have welcomed refugees to their communities in recent years. REGISTER HERE
Please also join in representing our congregation at RAC-CA’s meeting with Senator Maria Elena Durazo on Wednesday, July 28, 7-8:15 p.m. PT.

This is a great opportunity for RAC-CA to learn from and build our relationship with Senator Durazo.
