What is L'Taken - Are you ready to change the world? Then, get excited for the Bernard and Audre Rapoport L’Taken Social Justice Seminar! L'Taken means "to repair" in Hebrew, and, in partnership with the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism (RAC), you will have the opportunity to impact and begin to repair our country as you share your views on social justice topics with decision-makers on Capitol Hill.
About the Temple Shalom Trip
Chaperones: This trip is staffed by at least one member of our Learning & Engagement team who will travel with and lead the group through the L'taken experience. A member of the clergy will also join us for part or all of the trip.
Travel & Stay: We will fly as a group to DC and back. Coach busses are provided by the seminar for ground transportation while in DC. Students will stay in hotel rooms of 3 or 4 Temple Shalom students. The chaperones have rooms on the same floor and are available to assist students at all times.
Cost: The cost is dependent on the price of flights. The trip total is usually between $700-$900 (this includes flight, hotel, the seminar, and most meals.) Some scholarship money is available on a case by case basis.
