A beautiful service which incorporated quotes by Jefferson; a celebration of our religious freedom, of separation of church and state, an appreciation of our country and the liberties we enjoy, a recognition of our responsibilities to protect freedom of religion for all people.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ItqBt6Gg2tc/S5M9bPt7dyI/AAAAAAAAADg/q4DPjs9GkRQ/s1600-h/DSC_1154.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ItqBt6Gg2tc/S5M9bPt7dyI/AAAAAAAAADg/q4DPjs9GkRQ/s320/DSC_1154.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5445763912705996578" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ItqBt6Gg2tc/S5M9a0uL_pI/AAAAAAAAADY/op1wSGAx2sg/s1600-h/DSC_1136.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ItqBt6Gg2tc/S5M9a0uL_pI/AAAAAAAAADY/op1wSGAx2sg/s320/DSC_1136.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5445763905459322514" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ItqBt6Gg2tc/S5M9afFrlKI/AAAAAAAAADQ/ewBWJkGHYQw/s1600-h/DSC_1100.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ItqBt6Gg2tc/S5M9afFrlKI/AAAAAAAAADQ/ewBWJkGHYQw/s320/DSC_1100.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5445763899652281506" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ItqBt6Gg2tc/S5M9Z3HIjOI/AAAAAAAAADI/sRvu68a0YpM/s1600-h/DSC_1097.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ItqBt6Gg2tc/S5M9Z3HIjOI/AAAAAAAAADI/sRvu68a0YpM/s320/DSC_1097.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5445763888920956130" /></a> In front of the National Holocaust Memorial Museum.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ItqBt6Gg2tc/S5M791vXzxI/AAAAAAAAADA/nM28EzUpf2A/s1600-h/DSC_1097.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ItqBt6Gg2tc/S5M791vXzxI/AAAAAAAAADA/nM28EzUpf2A/s320/DSC_1097.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5445762308004892434" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ItqBt6Gg2tc/S5M79heByvI/AAAAAAAAAC4/XqXY3twkgdA/s1600-h/DSC_1083.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ItqBt6Gg2tc/S5M79heByvI/AAAAAAAAAC4/XqXY3twkgdA/s320/DSC_1083.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5445762302563437298" /></a> At the World War II Memorial<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ItqBt6Gg2tc/S5M79K7G7UI/AAAAAAAAACw/Rjsm0lbN9GE/s1600-h/DSC_1082.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ItqBt6Gg2tc/S5M79K7G7UI/AAAAAAAAACw/Rjsm0lbN9GE/s320/DSC_1082.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5445762296511393090" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ItqBt6Gg2tc/S5M78tEFuQI/AAAAAAAAACo/Y5ATlgMcqQo/s1600-h/DSC_1054.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ItqBt6Gg2tc/S5M78tEFuQI/AAAAAAAAACo/Y5ATlgMcqQo/s320/DSC_1054.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5445762288495999234" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ItqBt6Gg2tc/S5M78Oxvm-I/AAAAAAAAACg/SIpGq9VZEHU/s1600-h/DSC_1036.JPG"></a><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ItqBt6Gg2tc/S5M78Oxvm-I/AAAAAAAAACg/SIpGq9VZEHU/s1600-h/DSC_1036.JPG" style="text-decoration: none;"><img style="text-align: left;display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px; " src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ItqBt6Gg2tc/S5M78Oxvm-I/AAAAAAAAACg/SIpGq9VZEHU/s320/DSC_1036.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5445762280365988834" /></a>After breakfast and shabbat morning services we participated in a lobbying simulation; Kesef, Koach, and politika (money, power, and politics). Students were on two sides of the "raise the minimum wage" issue and worked towards influencing senators through a twitter wall, phone calls, gaining funds from wealthy donors, letter writing, and rallying! </div><div>After lunch we headed out tho the WWII memorial under sunny skies, and from there walked to the National Holocaust Memorial Museum. After the exploring this sad chapter of our people's history (concluding with a moment in the hall of remembrance), we lightened our steps with some sight-seeing in Georgetown and dinner in the the great restaurants in the area. From Georgetown we were off the Jefferson Memorial, and then back to the conference for a program shuk. Students attended a shuk which they had selected previously on topics ranging from "The Greenest Generation" to "Put a Mensch on the Bench!"</div><div><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4063659022127715417-8741678907373799314?l=cbiltaken2010.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Benhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00053112127695465246noreply@blogger.com0
