Aden Sher (holding pinata), Lilly Houser (in blue coat) and Jack Blase (at right) volunteered with members of the Shaare Emeth Temple Youth Group for a Winter Fun Day event held earlier this year for refugee families and children at the International Institute. The project was part Shaare Emeth’s “Hineni: Welcoming New Americans” program,  which has led to ongoing partnerships with the International Institute.  Photo: ANDREW KERMAN
