This year we are featuring Noah Habeeb, a fully accredited representative and the Director of the Ark at Congregation Beit Simchat Torah (CBST), which provides pro se legal support to LGBTQ and HIV+ asylum seekers and many others. Since 2019, the Ark at CBST has served more than 2,000 asylum seekers. Noah’s writing has appeared in the Nation, Tikkun, Truthout, and publications of the Institute for Policy Studies. He has an MA in Urban and Environmental Policy & Planning from UEP at Tufts University, and previously worked as an Urban Fellow in the New York City Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs (MOIA).
