A Jewish School Gathering in Washington DC

"Assemble the people, men, women and children... so that they can listen and learn..."
Deuteronomy 31:12

May 18-21, 2008

Let us all gather in the Capitol of this great nation. Let's have fun, meet new friends and create bonds between us. Let’s look closely at American History and Government and trace the contribution of the Jewish People in shaping the face of America. Let’s celebrate all that is Jewish; celebrate Israel and the link of the Jewish People to Israel and to the US.

We have put together a modular program allowing your school to join in the Hakhel program, enjoy a top quality tour of Washington, DC, the chance to meet Jewish peers from across the nation and participate in unique Israeli and Jewish programming.
