As you prepare for Yom Kippur, I want to share with you the 2026 March of the Living flyer.

If you are at a synagogue…and if there is any way in which you can put some copies out on display with any other publicity that you put out in your lobbys,etc for the High Holidays, I would really appreciate it.

Also…following the chagim…if you would think of 2 of your high school juniors of seniors whom you think would be good candidates for the March, I’d really appreciate it. Referrals means a lot more coming from people they know and look up to, then getting a “cold call.” Or, let me know the contact, and I will say that you are the referral.

If you are an organization which is able to publicize this in a newsletter…that would be amazing.

I’m hoping that we have a strong Western Region delegation for the 2026 March of the Living.

Thank you so much

Gmar Chatimah Tovah.

Have a meaningful fast.

Marcia

It will change you and the way you
see the world around you, just like it
changed me and my perspective on
life.”
– Stephie W, San Diego

was going on the March of the Living.”
