I am so excited – I am leaving for AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee) tomorrow! I went for the first time last year, and it is a Jewish experience like no other. Last year, 19,000 supporters of Israel from all over the world converged on Washington, D.C. for a conference that begins tonight with a Shabbaton and ends on Tuesday with meetings on Capitol Hill. You can see AIPAC live at JLTV. Read more about AIPAC below.
PASSOVER GIFTS
Passover is coming up! It is 2 weeks from this Monday, 4/10. Last’s week’s newsletter didn’t get out until late Friday afternoon, so in case you missed it, below are my favorite Passover gifts. I also have new pieces by Me 2 U.
I just added these glass Passover Seder plates to the website. They are SO GORGEOUS! The pictures don’t do them justice. They are handmade by Kathy Hudson of Me 2 U. Check them out!
AIPAC
The list of people scheduled to speak at AIPAC is unbelievable! Speakers include Mike Pence, Nancy Pelosi, Paul Ryan, Benjamin Netanyahu, Chuck Shumer, Nikki Haley, Mitch McConnell, over 10 members of the Knesset, Alan Dershowitz, and so many more!
It was difficult to choose the four breakout sessions that I would attend. There are at least 15 classes to choose from for each session. For now, I chose: 1)Policy Predicaments: America’s Strategic Challenges in the Middle East, 2) Regional Outlook: The Middle East in 2017, 3) The Week That Changed Everything: 50 Years Since the Six Day War, and 4)Iran Primer: A First Timer’s Guide to the Islamic Republic. The conference is held at the Washington Convention Center and the Verizon Center. Besides the 4 breakout sessions, everyone attends the other scheduled programming. I’ll tell you all about it next week!
