Fall Symposium Highlights

What a great day! The sun streams through the windows of the Meeting Hall as Bob leads our students in a town meeting discussion. The morning of workshops was a complete success. Here are some student comments about the day: "It was very eye-opening to learn about the differences and common threads in every religion." "I learned a lot about the Middle East that I had never been taught before. My views of the Middle East have certainly changed." " Learning about climate change and its effects on Middle Eastern security was both interesting and thought-provoking. I hope that future advancements in green technology will help ease the strains between countries in the Middle East." "Learning about Brit Tzedek v'Shalom was very inspiring and made me want to find out more information about the Middle East."
