March of the Living

New England Region

MOTL New England’s Mission

The International March of the Living is an annual educational program, which brings individuals from all over the world to Poland and Israel, in order to study the history of the Holocaust and to examine the roots of prejudice, intolerance and hate.

There’s An Israel Bobsled Team?

October 24 at 8 p.m. at Temple Emanuel in Newton, Mass

Join us to hear Jared Firestone, 2022 Winter Olympic hopeful as he talks about how the March of the Living has impacted his life and led him to Israel and a Winter Olympic hopeful in Bobsledding.
Twenty-nine year-old lawyer / real estate broker Jared Firestone, a native of Hollywood, Florida, has been training for Israel’s Skeleton National Team. Skeleton, a one-person version of the bobsled race, is an event where the competitor rides prone, head-first downhill on a sled, reaching up to 80 mph on a one-mile course. Currently the team includes three men and one woman.

To help with planning for the October 24 program, advance registration is requested.  RSVP Link .  Admission is free. Refreshments will be served.
