Rabbi visits GISW
On February 10, Rabbi Adam Raskin from the Har Shalom Congregation in Potomac visited us to answer questions from our 9th grade students in the auditorium. Any questions were allowed they were interested in: about Jewish traditions, Jewish identity, anti-Semitism, or political issues.
It was impressive how Rabbi Adam responded authentically and with great attentiveness, giving us deep insights into Jewish values and identities. We are excited to having Rabbi Adam back as a wonderful discussion partner next school year.
