Here's another message from one of our young adult participants in the JDC conference, Aviv Levy. You'll see him around at the various exciting programs going on at the JDC conference!
There will be a Jewish Deaf Congress Conference from May 30th-June 1st in Washington, DC and I am attending! I hope you'll go and bring others along! I created a list of why, from the top of my head. Skim read from 1 to 10 and pass it along!
10 Reasons Why One Would Go to the 2013 Jewish Deaf Congress Conference:
1. Washington, District of Columbia, is an exciting city with plethora of museums and it is where Gallaudet University is located.
With JDC’s strong support diversity of Jewish deaf and hard of hearing attendees, there will be two Shabbat morning services simultaneously on Saturday, June 1st from 9:30am to 11:30am - a traditional service led by Rabbi Fred Friedman. and an egalitarian-Reform service led by Rabbi Rebecca Dubowe.
It is with my great pleasure to restore one of JDC's precious awards, primarily for young people, so as to deeply enrich their knowledge in the world around them. It was last awarded in 2003 Las Vegas Conference.
