Miriam Adelson

Miriam, stand up, please.

She really is.

I mean, she loves this country.

She loves this country.

Her and her husband are so incredible.

We miss him so dearly.

But I actually asked her, I'm going to get her in trouble with this, but I actually asked her once, I said, so Miriam, I know you love Israel.

What do you love more, the United States or Israel?

She refused to answer.

That means, that might mean Israel, I must say.

We love you.

Thank you, darling, for being here.

That's a great honor.

Last week, HIAS organized a letter signed by over 1,200 rabbis.

Can you imagine getting 1,200 rabbis to agree on one thing?

But I agree they did.

And what they agreed was to ask our elected officials not to halt or even to limit the United States refugee admissions programs.

At 134 years old, HIAS is the oldest refugee organization in the world.

We rescue, resettle, and aid refugees of all ethnic and religious backgrounds through 10 offices around the world and is one of nine volunteer agencies resettling refugees in the U.S.

and the only Jewish organization amongst them.
