Pre-College Program
The Olam Tikvah Pre-College Program is a unique opportunity for high-school juniors and seniors
with Rabbi Paskind.
The program will enable you to apply your many years of Jewish education to a variety of experiences, both inside OT and outside. As a subset of the OT community, we’ll both socialize and learn… and eat. We’ll also think about important issues that you will encounter on the college campus.
Whether or not you participated in OT's Confirmation class, you are
welcome.
Past activities have included discussions about Israel advocacy,
attending the Jewish Film Festival, meeting with people such as the
founder of the Peace Cafe and the George Washington University Hillel
Director, and other trips around town.
