Last week, more than 50 MTA students and faculty members went to Washington DC for Hatzioni's second annual Israel lobby mission.   The day before the trip, a training session was held at which students went over their talking points and heard a presentation from Jasmine Patihi, Director of High School Programming at StandWithUs, a pro-Israel lobbying group.   The next morning, we awoke bright and early for Shacharis at 6:20AM, after which we boarded the bus for Washington DC. Our first stop was Congregation Kesher Israel of Georgetown, where we had lunch and heard from Katharine Nasielsky, Director of National Initiatives at the Israeli Embassy in Washington.   We then headed to Capitol Hill for our congressional meetings and where we discussed US support with representatives of Congresswoman Grace Meng, Congressman Scott Garrett, Congressman Eliot Engel, Senator Robert Menendez, Senator Cory Booker, Senator Chuck Schumer, and Senator Kirsten Gillibrand.   When we departed from Capitol Hill. went to nearby Rockville, Maryland for a fancy Chinese dinner at the Royal Dragon restaurant, followed by Mincha/Maariv.   The trip concluded when we returned to MTA at approximately midnight. Thanks so much to everyone who made this trip a huge success. Please be sure to join us for more Hatzioni events.
