Reut is the Director of the Hotline for Refugees and Migrants. ‘Hotline’ aims to defend and further the rights of refugees and migrants in Israel and works to prevent human trafficking. Its activities include running an advice centre (mainly staffed by volunteers), legal activism and public education activities. The Hotline for Refugees and Migrants is a non-governmental and non-profit organization that aims to defend and further the rights of refugees, migrants and prevent human trafficking in Israel, and is a grantee of the New Israel Fund. Prior to working at Hotline, Reut was an Associate Director at IRAC – the Israel Religious Action Centre of the Israeli Movement for Progressive Judaism.
We will have our usual informal chavurah supper with the service and meal, and afterwards, at 8pm, Reut will talk about the situation facing the approximately 55,000 refugees and asylum seekers in Israel, mainly from Eritrea and Sudan. She will discuss current plans to imprison or deport the refugees from practical, legal and Jewish values standpoints.
