Congregation Sinai in June became the first Milwaukee synagogue to become a member of the New Sanctuary Movement in the city, according to the congregation’s September-October newsletter and confirmed by the office of Voces de la Frontera.
The synagogue thereby “joins a network of faith organizations in supporting people dealing with the deportations of themselves or their loved ones,” according to the newsletter.
The movement “does not shelter those avoiding deportation,” the newsletter states, but “offers support through social and spiritual gatherings.”
As part of its work in the movement, the synagogue will host an “Immigrant Freedom Seder” this coming Passover, the newsletter states.
