L'Taken Social Justice Seminar
Calling all high schoolers! At the RAC's L’Taken Social Justice Seminar, you will have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to learn about social justice issues you’re passionate about, develop life-long advocacy & leadership skills, meet with your members of Congress’ office, & explore Washington, DC.
Time & Location:
Winter 2027
Washington, D.C.
Details:
L'Taken, meaning "to repair" in Hebrew, and, in partnership with the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism (RAC), offers teens from all over the United States the opportunity to impact and begin to repair our country as they share their views on social justice topics with decision-makers on Capitol Hill.
This program is designed to both expose teens to a variety of public policy issues and explore the Jewish values that inform the Reform Movement’s advocacy around these issues. Throughout the weekend, you will be provided the knowledge and tools to write an effective, persuasive, and passionate speech on a topic of your choice to present when you visit the offices of your Senators and Representatives on the Monday of the program.
More details coming soon. If you're interested in learning more, please reach out to Yael at eads@rodefshalom.org.
