[Jewish] Gathering for Conservative-affiliated college students on Jews and Public Policy in March

[Steven Nathan]

By now most of you should be aware of this year's *KOACH* Kallah, March 
4-7, at the Pearlstone Conference and Retreat Center outside of 
Baltimore.  Our very exciting lineup focuses on Setting the Agenda:  
Jews and Public Policy and features Rabbi Leonard Gordon of the 
Germantown Jewish Centre in Philadelphia and co-chair of the USCJ 
Committee on Public Policy and Social Action.  This conference is a 
great opportunity for students who would enjoy inspiring conversation, 
service to the community and a breathtaking Shabbat.  Information and 
registration are available at www.koach.org <http://www.koach.org/> -- 
and I'm also happy to answer any questions.
 
It would be wonderful if you could personally recommend this to your 
emerging leaders, to folks who are usually responsible for creating 
Shabbat for others and could use some nurturing and really, anyone who 
would enjoy the spirited learning environment.
 
Registration is $250, but we just received a grant which brings the cost 
down to $150 for the first twenty students who let me know that you sent 
them with this very scholarship in mind.
 
Know that we will send them back to you with renewed energy and enthusiasm!

/"The more deeply immersed I became in the thinking of the prophets, the 
more powerfully it became clear to me what the lives of the prophets 
sought to convey: that morally speaking there is no limit to the concern 
one must feel for the suffering of human beings. /

/"It also became clear to me that in regard to cruelties committed in 
the name of a free society, some are guilty, all are responsible."/
