Sinai Refugee Resettlement Project

Temple Sinai, Brookline, MA, has created the ​Sinai​ ​Resettlement Project​ ​to​ ​organize​ ​an​ ​effort​ ​to​ ​sponsor​ ​a​ ​Syrian​ ​refugee​ ​family​ ​to​ ​come​ ​to​ ​our community​ ​with​ ​the​ ​technical​ ​and​ ​administrative​ ​support​ ​of​ ​Jewish​ ​Family​ ​Services of​ ​Metrowest.​ ​JFS​, along​ ​with​ ​the​ ​Hebrew​ ​Immigrant​ ​Aid Society (HIAS)​ ​have​ ​invited​ ​our​ ​temple​ ​to​ ​be​ ​a​ ​synagogue​ ​partner​ ​to​ ​provide support​ ​for​ ​one​ ​of​ ​several​ ​refugee​ ​families​ ​being​ ​resettled​ ​through​ ​the​ ​Greater Boston/Metrowest​ ​Jewish​ ​community,​ ​many​ ​of​ ​whom​ ​are​ ​already​ ​here.​ ​Our​ ​temple is​ ​next​ ​in​ ​line​ ​to​ ​be​ ​assigned​ ​a​ ​family​ ​and​ ​we​ ​anticipate​ ​it​ ​will​ ​happen​ ​in​ ​the​ ​near future. We have learned that a family of five may be moving here sometime this summer!

Our​ ​goal​ ​is​ ​to​  ​raise​ ​$36,000​ ​to​ ​support​ ​rent​ ​and​ ​other​ ​tangibles​ ​for​ ​their first​ ​year​ ​in​ ​our​ ​country.​ ​
