"I felt my feet were praying."

(Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel,
writing of his march alongside Dr. King
from Selma to Montgomery in 1965)

Come on a trip South to tour Atlanta, GA and Montgomery, AL with Kiana Pierre-Louis, Esq. and Rabbi Joseph Meszler. Learn and then build upon the historic legacy of Black-Jewish Alliance. Our tentative schedule includes the Civil and Human Rights Museum, the King graves, the historical Ebenezer Baptist Church, The Temple of Atlanta, the Rosa Parks Library and Museum, the Legacy Museum, the National Memorial for Peace and Justice… and Dreamland BBQ.

Space is limited to one bus. The cost of the trip will cover flights, charter bus transportation, hotels, breakfasts, and all entrance fees. This trip is for adults (college age and older) only.
