Leadership Profile
Judith Bernstein-Baker, Retired Executive Director for the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS) of Pennsylvania
Abstract
The Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society of Pennsylvania (HIAS PA) is a Philadelphia nonprofit that provides “legal and supportive services to immigrants, refugees, and asylum seekers” and “advocates for just and inclusive immigration policy and practices.” Originally founded by the Philadelphia Jewish community in 1882 to assist Jewish refugees fleeing Russian pogroms, HIAS PA now serves immigrants and refugees of all religious and ethnic backgrounds. Its values are “based on the core Jewish belief of ‘welcoming the stranger’ and tzedakah (generosity, charity, and fairness).” The organization estimates it has assisted more than 300,000 people from over one hundred countries during its lengthy history.
