Teen L’Taken Social Justice Seminar

9th-12th grade students are invited to join us in partnership with the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism (RAC) to share your voice on social justice topics and make an impact as we visit Capitol Hill.  This trip will depart the early morning of Friday, January 10 and return in the early evening of Monday, January 13. This trip is offered by Emanu-El to our Emanu-El teens.

The RAC L’Taken is designed to both expose our teens to a variety of public policy issues and explore Jewish values that inform the Reform Movement’s Advocacy around these issues. These topics include antisemitism, economic justice, LGBTQ+ rights, and more. Throughout the weekend, we will work with the RAC staff to gain the knowledge and tools to write an effective, persuasive, and passionate speech on a topic of our choice to present when you visit the offices of your Senators and Representatives on the Monday of the program. We will also be leaving time to visit the National Mall, Holocaust Museum and/or the US Smithsonian. To learn more about this opportunity, including viewing a sample schedule, visit RAC online.
