VIEW THE NEW EVENT

This event is in partnership with the Milton Gottesman Jewish Day School.

Milton Gottesman Jewish Day School, in partnership with Washington Hebrew Congregation, is grateful to welcome Rachel Goldberg-Polin and Jon Polin to Washington, D.C., as featured speakers for this year’s Rabin Lecture.  They will engage our community in a conversation touching on Jewish education and parenting in advance of the release of Rachel’s upcoming book, When We See You Again.

Rachel and Jon were thrust into the international spotlight in October 2023 following the kidnapping of their son Hersh, z’l.  Despite their devastating loss, they remained steadfast in their quest for the freedom of every hostage held by Hamas. Rachel and Jon will join us in Washington, DC; full location information and transportation guidance will be shared with ticketed participants prior to the event.

Tickets to this event are $36. We anticipate this being a highly attended event and encourage you to purchase your tickets early. Please note that for security reasons, each ticket needs to be attached to an attendee name; if purchasing more than one ticket, you will be prompted to enter the names of each ticketed attendee.
