When Jorge Sepulveda sees the images of the refugees gathered at America’s southern border, awaiting asylum, he thinks of his father.
“I understand who these families are trying to come here, even illegally,” he said. “Imagine how bad it must be where they are from, to take such a risk.”
Sepulveda’s own story has a dramatic Passover-worthy ending, thanks to the near-miraculous intervention of a middle-aged Jewish woman and her suburban Illinois synagogue.
Now at 50 years-old, Sepulveda reflects on the sacrifices his father Ruben made and the incredible circumstances that brought him to the U.S with the help of members of Am Shalom, a Reform synagogue in Glencoe, Illinois.
