What LFT DC alumni have to say:
Rachel Friedman | LFT DC 2018-19
"LFT made me realize how important Jewish education and Israel advocacy is for Jewish teens. As a result, I decided to start a Jewish Culture Club at my school and take on a leadership position in my youth groups as Israel Affairs Chair."
Nathan Gershengorn | LFT DC 2019-20
"Through LFT, I gained more perspectives on issues I thought I was well versed in. The program taught me to look at the world and the news more carefully, as well as how to stand up for the issues that are important to me."
Naomi Meyer | LFT DC 2019-20
"I came away from LFT having learned so much more than I had ever expected. I was able to explore my Jewish identity as a teen in a creative, friendly, and stimulating environment. LFT allowed me to learn all sides of the story and understand how I can connect to those around me." |
