Students had the opportunity to enjoy breakfast and spend time getting to know one another They then engaged in a walking tour of Venice Beach, enjoyed the Los Angeles scenery, and learned about the Jewish community of Venice Beach. The delegates concluded their afternoon with time at the New Jewish Community High School campus, where they were able to learn about the American Jewish high school experience.
Today, the delegation and their 8th grade hosts spent time at the Tree People, nestled in the hills between Studio City and Beverly Hills, learning about the environmental factors that impact Los Angeles.
