Shabbat Shalom 

 

 We are living in historic times. This past week's AIPAC Policy Conference was attended by over 13,000 people. Our CAS delegation (the largest in Fairfield County) reflected our belief in active engagement in shaping the destiny of the Jewish people and the state of Israel. Thank G-d, we are blessed with strong bipartisan support for the America - Israel alliance. We look forward to sharing reflections on AIPAC in the weeks ahead. To experience some of the energy, visit www.aipac.org. Consider joining our CAS delegation next year at AIPAC Policy Conference from March 3-5, 2013 at reduced rate available until March 20th. You can register at any time at www.aipac.org/pc
