Come to DC with Rabbi Hanish!
AIPAC Policy Conference
March 4th, 5th and 6th in Washington DC
The AIPAC Policy Conference is the pro-Israel community's preeminent annual gathering.
More than 9000 community and student activists from all 50 states, and more than half of the Senate, a third of the House of Representatives and countless Israeli and American policymakers and thought leaders will be there!
Over three jam-packed days, Policy Conference participants choose from hundreds of informative sessions and participate in the pro-Israel community's largest and most important advocacy day.
Join Rabbi Hanish and Lisa Hanish for this exciting weekend.
We have FOUR discounted registrations available right now to Kol Tikvah members for a limited time.
Contact Rabbi Hanish for more information 818-348-0670
Dear Friends,
The AIPAC National Policy Conference is fast approaching. I'd like you to invite you to travel with my wife, Lisa, and me to Washington D.C. from March 4-6 as part of the Kol Tikvah delegation.
What's AIPAC? The pro-Israel lobby. Now, more than ever, we need to show our support for Israel. This convention attracts over 11,000 participants annually. It is an experience not to be missed with speakers that always include Heads-of-State such as President Obama and Prime Minister Netanyahu. The highlight of the conference is the lobbying we do in support of Israel on the final day of the conference. Having 11,000 Jews descend on the heart of our capitol to state unequivocally that American needs to stand behind Israel, is a responsibility that every Jew should undertake at least once in a lifetime if not yearly.
Interested in joining the Kol Tikvah delegation?
For more information and to register, go to http://www.aipac.org/en/get-involved/attend-policy-conference. Once you have completed your registration, please let me know so that I can add your name to the KT contingent list. I have access to a limited amount of discounted registrations. If you cannot afford the full registration, please contact me directly for more information. If you are unable to go due to personal or professional conflicts, please consider making a donation to KT to aid those whose calendars allow travel but are in need of financial assistance.
In late February, we will gather together for a pre-conference orientation. Come for the wine, cheese and dessert, and stay for information that will help you navigate all the wonderful happenings at the policy conference. Details to follow. Additionally, on Sunday night of the conference, we will share a meal and talk about our experiences. Please join Lisa and me at this year's policy conference.
Questions? Please contact me.
L'Shalom,
Rabbi Jon Hanish
