Welcome

We are thrilled to be staffing J.tel's Jewish Civil Rights tour of the South. Over the next few days, students will travel to Atlanta Georgia, and Montgomery and Selma, Alabama to learn about Civil Rights in the United States and Jews involvement in the Movement. The theme of the program is: “Ki Garim Anachnu- For We Were Once Strangers in a Strange Land.” Visits include the site were Leo Frank was lynched, the Rosa Parks Museum, the Edmund Pettus Bridge, the Southern Poverty Law Center, Freedom Park, and The Civil Rights Institute. We know the teens that participate in this trip will find the experience to be extremely rewarding. Follow this blog to hear their reflections each night!

B'Shalom
