Ron Halbright, a good friend of the school for many years, came in for a special conversation today. Ron was a community worker and used to live in Baltimore but has lived in Switzerland for the last 34 years. There he is engaged in social justice work including work with refugees and other disenfranchised people.

Ron’s work is influenced by his family’s persecution and losing many relatives during the Holocaust and that his parents were refugees themselves as they came to the United States. His work today includes facilitating dialogue between Jews and Muslims. Ron attended our current events class and joined in the conversation about the news of the day.

It is always a pleasure to have Ron visit the school when he is in town and we appreciate him sharing his work with us.
