5 Towners set for AIPAC trek

The Young Israel of Woodmere continued this week to encourage Five Towners to attend the upcoming AIPAC policy conference in Washington.

“With the events of recent weeks unfolding in the Middle East, Jerusalem, Israel’s northern border, and more recently on the Senate floor, it’s never been more important for our community to stand with Israel and show President Obama and the U.S. Congress how strong American support is for Israel,” a YIW email urged.

Scores of prominent speakers — ranging from Prime Minister Netanyahu to South Shore Rep. Kathleen Rice — are slated to discuss issues impacting on the Jewish state during the event on March 1 to 3.

Registration information is at aipac.org/pc. The YIW is considering chartering a bus.
