Our Theme will be-
The Exodus Continues: on Immigrants and Refugees
Led by Rabbis Burt Jacobson and David J. Cooper with special guests
Singer Julie Nesnansky
Guest speaker, Issa Hakizimana
Refugee from Burundi
The story of the Israelites’ exodus from Egypt is the story of refugees fleeing from oppression seeking a safe harbor. We are commanded to contemplate the exodus and to imagine ourselves among the refugees. Issa Hakizimana does not need to stretch his imagination having fled from a dangerous threat to his life in his native Burundi. Through the East Bay’s Jewish Family and Community Services, Issa found housing with a Kehilla family. During the seder, he will tell his story.
