The Confirmation class from Temple Sinai, along with chaperones Rabbi Geoff Huntting and David Berkowitz, recently attended the L'taken Social Justice Seminar in Washington, D.C., organized by the Reform movement's Religious Action Center, the Temple has announced. As part of the intense four-day program, students chose issues to research and presented position papers in the offices of U.S. Rep. Vern Buchanan, R-Longboat Key; Sen. Bill Nelson, D-FL; and Sen. Marco Rubio, R-FL. They shared the experience with hundreds of other high school students. The Temple Sinai group gathered outside the Capitol for a commemorative photo (from left): Rabbi Geoff Huntting, Aspen Kaye, Danny Gardi, Dana Berkowitz, David Berkowitz, Kaitlyn Siegel, Ethan Blumenstein, Dana Saltz, Michael Fallacaro, Marisa Freedman and Fiona Marlowe.
