Please fill out this registration form if you are interested in participating in Ha’dor Yizkor: Reshet Ramah Poland Journey from May 19-26, 2024. This trip is open to anyone between the ages of 22-30, whether a Ramah alum or a friend of Ramah.
On this six-day journey through Poland, our community will explore the cities of Warsaw, Lublin, and Krakow; hold each other up in Zbylitowska Gura—the Children’s Forest, Auschwitz-Birkenau, and Treblinka; volunteer in cemeteries and local communities; meet with Jewish and non-Jewish peers; thank some of the families of Poland’s Righteous Among the Nations; and celebrate Shabbat in Krakow with the revitalized Jewish community and the work of the JCC Krakow.
We will work to fulfill our generation’s responsibility to remember, rebuild, and retell.
