Join Greater Philadelphia ZOA in Washington to Lobby for Israel

We want to thank those of you who have already registered to participate in ZOA’s Pro-Israel Capitol Hill Mission.

There is still an opportunity for others to spend a day doing hands-on, pro-Israel advocacy with ZOA in Washington on June 6 – and save $50, but not for much longer.

Please consider participating in our Pro-Israel Capitol Hill Mission, and help us increase our numbers. The price of the Mission is $159 but it will increase to $209 on Wednesday. The cost for students is $75, but it will increase as well on Wednesday. Greater Philadelphia ZOA will pay the $55 bus fare for students.

Many of you have participated in our Washington Advocacy Mission in the past. You know not only how important a day it is, but you also know what a wonderful, meaningful and satisfying day it is to go to Washington, meet with our lawmakers, hear from other lawmakers from throughout our country and interact with Zionists from across America. For those of you who have not participated in this Mission previously, this is a rare opportunity to join with a small group of people for an intimate meeting with your lawmakers in their offices to discuss some of the most pivotal legislation and critical issues important to Israel and the U.S.-Israel relationship. The day includes a memorable luncheon where lawmakers from the House and Senate come to talk to us about the matters we care about and they pledge their support for Israel. Dietary laws observed. There is also a lobbying workshop/briefing, and a welcome from Mort Klein, our National President.

We will have bus pick-ups/drop-offs from Northeast Philadelphia, Center City and Lower Merion.

Please register for the Mission as soon as possible! To register or if you have any questions, please call us at 610-660-9466.
