After weeks of preparation and training, 45 student members of the MTA political action club headed to Washington, D.C. on April 23, for a successful day of lobbying. Students met with Congress and Senate staffers and discussed the impending U.S. embassy move to Jerusalem, the Taylor Force Act, BDS and other issues surrounding the American-Israel relationship. “We are proud of the professionalism students displayed in the meetings and look forward to watching them become our future leaders,” said freshman grade dean and MTAPAC faculty advisor Rabbi Eli Cohn.
