We will be addressed by Cornell students who traveled to Tbilisi this past summer under the sponsorship of the Joint Distribution Committee and Hillel. The alternative service summer break trip to Georgia provided students with the opportunity to interact face-to-face with underserved Jewish populations. By working with the Joint Distribution Committee on the ground, students were able to provide aide to the elderly, learn about the history of Georgian Jewry, and discover different ways to support the community.
Contributions to the Hesed Eliyahu Relief Center in Tbilisi will be encouraged and gratefully received at the event. Refreshments will be served.
