This year, more than 110 million people have been forcibly displaced from their homes — another sobering milestone. At the same time, people seeking asylum are being turned away at borders around the world.
It is easy to feel hopeless in the face of such devastation, but the Jewish community is rising to meet these challenges with creativity and generosity, finding ways to support and welcome refugees at all stages along their journey.
