Applications for the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism’s 2010-2011 Eisendrath Legislative Assistant Program<\/a> are online now! Eisendrath Legislative Assistants, or LAs, are recent college grads who come to the RAC to advocate for Jewish values and social justice on behalf of the Reform Jewish Movement. Their responsibilities include monitoring legislative activity, developing synagogue social action programming, coordinating special events, creating educational materials, planning and staffing our L’Taken<\/em> Social Justice Seminars for teens, and mobilizing the grassroots of American Jewry. <\/p>\n

This one-year fellowship is a unique and exciting opportunity to work alongside advocates and policymakers in Washington and engage in the work of tikkun olam<\/em>. Former LAs have gone on to become rabbis, congressional staffers, lawyers and advocates at progressive social justice organizations like the National Council of Jewish Women, the Human Rights Campaign and Interfaith Alliance. Learn more about this year’s LAs<\/a> (we’ll put you in touch with any of them if you’re thinking of applying and want to talk to someone who’s been there); while you’re at it, check out the story of former Legislative Assistant Ben Weyl’s RAC experience in “Tales of a Former LA: Better Off for Having Been One.”<\/a>

\nApply now for the 2010-2011 program year at rac.org\/la<\/a><\/b>, or send the link along to a recent or soon-to-be grad who you would make a great LA. For more information, contact our Legislative Director Barbara Weinstein<\/a> at 202.387.2800.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
