sion makers on Capitol Hill through
persuasive speech writing and
speaking.
The teens attended programs and
lobbied Michigan senators and two
representatives on a range of topics,
including Israel, the environment,
reproductive rights, LGBTQ civil
rights, church/state separation and
international relations.
The trip also included visits to
the National Holocaust Memorial
Museum and the Smithsonian
National Mall and a Havdalah ser-
vice at the Jefferson Memorial.
“Abraham was the world’s first
lobbyist when he asked God to not
destroy Sodom and Gomorrah,” said
TBE Director of Education Debbie
Morosohk. “Because of the times
we live in, our teens are becoming
increasingly aware of the need for
politically advocating for causes in
which they believe. L’Taken raised
their political awareness. They
know they can be an active part of

the process. They have a voice, and
they now know how to use it.”
Lily Mendelson, 16, of Huntington
Woods and a junior at Detroit
Country Day School, learned how
to advocate for reproductive rights
on the trip. Looking at the issue
through a Jewish lens, she studied
texts that argued the position that
all life is sacred; but when it comes
to pregnancy, the physical, mental
and emotional health of the mother
carries greater precedence over an
unborn fetus, she said.
“Access to safe, legal abortions
needs to continue in this country,”
Mendelson said. “On this trip, I
connected with Jewish teens whose
ideals are similar to mine. As we
spoke about these issues to our
representatives on Capitol Hill, it
showed me that I do have a voice;
and that voice, though only one in a
country of millions, can help defend
an issue and can change history.” •
