PETICHAT LEV II - LEARNING WITH AN OPEN HEART - MENTAL HEALTH

PETICHAT LEV, LEARNING WITH AN OPEN HEART
FINDING LIGHT – HANUKAH & REFUGEES, towards winter solstice, the darkest time of the year we bring one of the toughest questions we face, the question of migration and refugees. Amos Schonfield presents, he is the founder of Our Second Home (OSH), a youth movement that helps refugees and migrants flourish. Amos’s work has been inspired by his grandfather, Rabbi Dr Solomon Schonfeld, who saved over 3000 people in the Kindertransport.
We hear Amos’s story and reflect with Rabbi Oliver on how a Jewish ethics shape our response to the refugee crisis and consider whether the UK continues to be a place of light for those seeking safety.
