It is our hope that these videos bring authentic voices into Sigd observances in the United States and beyond, and that they support educational initiatives about the multicultural nature of the Jewish community.
"As a global community, we must remember that compassion and humanity should not be selective. We must insist on Avera's release and ensure that his plight is not forgotten.”
