Whats the scoop?  You will travel to Washington, DC with Rabbi Laura Abrasley and Ellie Goldman to join hundreds of other Jewish teens at L'Taken.  Visit Georgetown, the Holocaust Museum, the National Mall and Monuments and of course meet with MA legislators on Capitol Hill

​What about school? You will miss school Monday and part of Friday.  In the past schools have been very flexible about student absence for L'Taken.
We have drafted a letter about L'taken that can be printed and provided to your school administrators and teachers.  Anyone with additional questions or concerns can always contact Ellie directly.

Flight information. The cost of airfare is included in the fee for L'Taken. We have not yet finalized the flights for travel to and from DC, however, departure will be roughly 3:00 pm from Boston's Logan Airport (into Reagan National Airport) and we will return around 6:00 pm on Monday evening.  Participants should be dropped off and picked up from Logan Airport.  Exact flight times will be posted here as soon as arrangements are finalized.
