L'Taken Canada Social Justice Seminars

At the Bernard and Audre Rapoport L'Taken Social Justice Seminars, teens from across Canada converge on Ottawa for four days of advocacy and action.

You'll discuss how the Reform Movement applies Jewish perspectives to mobilize around issues like climate change, mental health, Israel, antisemitism, and more. You'll spend time meeting new people, exploring Ottawa, and traveling to Parliament Hill to advocate for the things YOU care about. Join us and make your voice heard! 

This program was made possible by the generous grant given to us by the Women of Reform Judaism (WRJ) YES Fund.

Participants attend L’Taken as part of a congregational delegation or another Jewish communal group.
