DRS students attend AIPAC forum

Senior Evan Goldstein, junior Yakir Sacknovitz, sophomore Aryeh Levine and freshmen Yosef Axelrod, students at Davis Renov Stahler Yeshiva High School for Boys in Woodmere attended the three-day American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) Israel advocacy and political activism training conference in Washington, D.C., earlier this month.

The program helps mentor, train, and educate high school students committed to strengthening the U.S.-Israel relationship through the American political process. The 400 students also met with Congressmen and women and took a tour of the Capital building.

During the program sessions, students were prompted to express their thoughts on why such a program attracted them, and why they thought it was important to lobby for Israel. AIPAC partners with a select group of Jewish Day Schools, synagogues, national youth groups and teen leadership organizations to choose the students who attend.
