Kabbalat Shabbat Services: Refugee Shabbat

February 14 @ 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm

We will live out our values by welcoming the Yadgaris, the family from Afghanistan our temple community sponsored back in 2022. We will celebrate Shabbat and have a chance to hear what their first two years in the U.S. have been like as new immigrants seeking a better life.

About the Yadgari Family:

Yadgari Family

Zaki, Nargis and Imran Yadgari arrived in Los Angeles February, 2022, a journey that began in Afghanistan in November 2021 and took them to a U.S. military base in Qatar, then another in New Jersey and finally their Los Angeles destination. They opted to participate in the newly formed government program for refugees called a Sponsor Circle. HIAS was integral in reaching out to congregations to create their own circles and extended and supported the government program to insure a more successful immigration experience. Our TIOH Circle was formed to support the Yadgari family for six months as they accessed the various programs to help them begin their lives here.
