L'Taken Social Justice Seminars
January 24-27, a group of teens traveled to Washington D.C. to participate in the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism (RAC), L'Taken Social Justice Seminar and to help make our world a better place.
Our teens had the opportunity to impact our political process as they shared their views on social justice topics with decision-makers on Capitol Hill. Here are a couple of their reflections:
The RAC L’Taken weekend was one of the best weekends of my life! I met people from all over the country who were very intelligent. I cannot wait to go back to L’Taken next year! - Danny Goldberg
L'taken was one of those experiences that I'll never forget. It was special not just because of the few hundreds of Jews in the rooms, the variety of different programming to learn about crucial issues, the friendships that were made and became closer, or the delivering of speeches to our congressmen. L'Taken mattered so much because for one of the first times in my life, I was able to truly to something remarkable and make a difference in the world. - Ilana Shreiber
Please join us for Shabbat Services at 6pm on Friday, February 21st to hear more about their extraordinary weekend and to celebrate their accomplishments...
Please take a moment to read their lobby speeches...
A Message from Rabbi Kedar 12.2
Today I will be taking a ten hour road trip to Primrose Valley Farm in WI with Julie Rachman and Terri Argentar. It is a CSA farm owned and run by our members Jamie and David Baker. This farm is a special and magical place. There, on the farm, stood a great, old and exquisite Walnut Tree, that needed to be cut down. David has been drying it for sometime now and we, the road travelers, go on this pilgrimage of sorts to examine and discern the raw planks that will become the Ark in our new sanctuary.
