March of the Living
Join us on January 30, 2003 at 7:30pm for an informational meeting about a special adult version of the March of the Living. Hear about this life changing experience from community scholar Rivy Poupko Kletenik and past participants. An international educational program that typically brings Jewish teens from around the world to Poland on Yom Hashoah, Holocaust Memorial Day, to march from Auschwitz to Birkenau, the largest concentration camp complex built during WW II. Participants then go to Israel to observe Yom Hazikaron and Yom Haatzmaut (Israel's Memorial Day and Independence Day). For further details, please contact kayr@jewishinseattle.org / 206.774.2224.
