his new job, realizing how lucky
he is to have one.
“I am working every day, all
day,
” Shafi said. “I am happy I’m
working, I have to support my
family, so it’s important for me
and I enjoy the job.
”
The two families’ children
have also connected, not letting
the language barrier become an
issue.
“Shafi’s little boy is 4 years
old, and he doesn’t speak a
lick of English, none, and you
should’ve seen him and Zach
playing,
” Farber said. “It’s no
problem. They played foot-
ball, played in the pool, played
Connect Four. Kids don’t really
need to speak the same lan-
guage. Because there’s a univer-
sal language: it’s love, and that’s
what we need to promote.
”
Farber says about 20 refugee
families are left at the hotel now.
The rest of them have either
found apartments or have other
family in the U.S. that the reset-
tlement agency sent them to be
with.
Farber says the entire net-
work of people who have con-
tributed has been reflective of a
community effort, and it shows
that one small gesture can
end up going such a long way.
Helping the refugees has been
a blessing for Farber and her
family, both as Jews and human
beings, she says.
“The Jewish people believe
in helping everybody, in tikkun
olam and helping the world,
and I’m a big believer in that,
”
Farber said. “I’ve raised my
children and grandchildren like
that, and it brings tears to my
eyes when I think about our
first encounter and where we
are now. I just feel so blessed
to have met him and his family
and the other people.
”
The Farbers are staying in
Los Angeles through Passover,
which means they’ve been able
to see Shafi and his family settle
into their new place.
“I think we’ve made great
friends,
” Farber said. “I think
this is a forever friendship. We
now have an Afghan family, and
they now have a Jewish Detroit
family in LA. My heart is full
with all that Shafi has accom-
plished in just a little over three
months.
”
Shafi is looking for an immigration law-
yer who might help him reunite his
family. If you or someone you know
can help, contact dschwartz@
