🕊️ Jewish rabbi's family story reveals urgent message about immigration reform. Rabbi Elle Muhlbaum, whose grandfather fled Nazi Germany, shares her powerful perspective as both a religious leader and descendant of refugees. Her personal connection to immigration runs deep - her husband came from the Soviet Union as a refugee, and together they're raising children with a rich immigrant heritage.

The rabbi emphasizes the biblical mandate to protect strangers, connecting ancient Jewish teachings to current humanitarian challenges.
