SOUP FOR SYRIA, a community-wide benefit for Syrian refugees, will be
hosted by the Jewish Community of Amherst, 742 Main St. Amherst, on
Sunday, January 31 at 4:30pm. Professor David Mednicoff, UMass Director
of Middle Eastern Studies, Michel Moushabeck, publisher of the cookbook Soup for Syria,
and Michael Kane of Valley Syrian Relief will update us on the Syrian
refugee crisis, the greatest refugee crisis since World War II with over
12 million victims. Music will be performed by musicians from the
Layaali Arabic Music Ensemble and Klezperanto. Delicious soups from Soup for Syria will
be served. A collection will be taken for the Syrian American Medical
Society Foundation, providers of desperately needed services. Attendees
can purchase Soup for Syria and
books by Syrian authors to further support Syrian refugees. The event
is free and the public is welcome. For those who wish to contribute but
are unable to attend a check payable to SAMS can be sent to the JCA, 742
Main St. Amherst, MA 01002. For more information call (413) 256-0493.
