Save The Date! March For Life 1/29/21

Jewish Pro-Life Foundation Newsletter 23 October 2020 - 5 Cheshvan 5781

Shabbat Shalom!

We're making plans to attend the annual March for Life in Washington DC on January 29, 2021. The theme for this march is Together Strong: Life Unites. To learn more about the event, visit: https://marchforlife.org/national-march-for-life/

Rabbi Shlomo Nachman and several of his congregation joined us last year at the March for Life. The Rabbi came away convinced of the need for the March for Life committee to reinstate yearly Jewish representation at the March for Life Rally. He wrote to the committee requesting that he be given a few minutes of stage time at the Rally, and asks that you support his request with your own letters of support for the proposal.

Here's a sample letter:

As a pro-life advocate, I request the National March For Life consider including Rabbi Shlomo Nachman of the Jewish Pro-Life Foundation on the rally stage at the January March for Life. He is a strong advocate for life and a gifted speaker. By including the Rabbi in your program, you would be including Jewish mothers and fathers in your growing movement to protect all life.

Please send your letter to: 1012 14th Street, NW Suite 300 Washington, DC 20005.

Email the committee at: [email protected]

We look forward to having a large Jewish contingent in January as we show Jewish support for the most defenseless humans among us. Please save the date and make plans to join us at our meet & greet Friday morning at 10 am at the Renaissance Washington DC, Downtown Hotel, located at 999 9th Street NW, Washington, DC 20001. (March for Life ground zero )

We'll walk together to the Rally on the National Mall.

Or, stay at our hotel the night before for fellowship and a visit to the March for Life Expo and dinner at the Kosher Deli, and then accompany us to the events the next day. Our hotel is a moderately priced establishment within Uber distance of the events. Rabbi Nachman will host Shabbat services on Saturday, too. Please contact him for details about the hotel and Shomer Shabbos at
