Educational & Travel Opportunities - 2023-24
Lives Eliminated, Dreams Illuminated is a poignant and powerful exhibit that reimagines girls’ and young women’s lives, the majority of whom were
murdered in the Holocaust. It aims to tell their stories, personalize the horror they experienced, and provoke important conversations about the Holocaust and current antisemitism.
As a group we will visit the exhibit and participate in an interactive hands on educational program designed specifically for Temple Shalom teens. Members of our Learning & Engagement team will chaperon but parents are more than welcome to join in the experience.
Registration Coming Soon
At L'Taken Social Justice Seminars, teens from across North America converge on Washington, DC for four days of advocacy and action. You'll discuss how the Reform Movement applies Jewish perspectives to mobilize around issues like reproductive rights, LGBTQ rights, climate change, Israel, health care, and more. You'll spend time meeting new people, exploring Washington, DC, and traveling to Capitol Hill to meet with Congress to advocate for the things YOU care about. Join us and make your voice heard! Registration Coming Soon!
