On Saturday, October 28th, The New Jewish Theater invites you to their show  “The Immigrant” and to a Welcome Neighbor STL dinner at 6:30 pm. There are performances of The Immigrant at 4 pm and 8 pm on that day, allowing you to enjoy the dinner either before or after attending the performance.

People could purchase dinner and reserve tickets for the show at newjewishtheatre.org using the 20% Welcome Neighbor STL promo code or they could just join the dinner, even if they didn’t plan to see the show. The dinner will be in the Performing Arts Center of the Community Center.

These meals present an opportunity for immigrant and refugee families to share knowledge and skills unique to them. It is also an opportunity for us to get a glimpse into their culture. These fundraising efforts can set them on a path of greater independence and confidence in their lives here in the USA.
