Seeking Asylum: Judaism and Refuge: A discussion series in anticipation of the Days of Awe
You shall not oppress a stranger,
for you know the feelings of the strangers,
having yourselves been strangers in the land of Egypt.
Exodus 23:9
What can we, as Jews, do to help refugees? What wisdom do we find in Torah about how to treat the stranger in our midst?
