Wednesday, March 11 Optional Field Trips

We’re offering two free field trips on Wednesday, March 11, with a suggested donation of $18 per person. Attend a service-learning experience at Cradles to Crayons, a guided tour of Philadelphia’s Holocaust Memorial Plaza, or both. 

Note: You can attend whether or not you’re registered for the convention, but field trips require separate registration. The deadline to register for these field trips is Wednesday, Feb. 25.

Join Reconstructing Judaism and Repair the World for an afternoon of learning and hands-on service with local nonprofit Cradles to Crayons. Volunteers will work in the Giving Factory, sorting and inspecting donated items and packaging them for distribution to children experiencing poverty. Participants will also learn about the impacts of childhood poverty and explore Jewish values that invite us into the tension between meeting urgent needs and transforming systemic conditions.

Participation is free, with a suggested donation of $18, all of which supports Cradles to Crayons.

Join a guided tour of the Philadelphia Holocaust Memorial Plaza, home to the nation’s oldest Holocaust memorial, dedicated in 1964. Learn about the work of the Philadelphia Holocaust Remembrance Foundation, founded in 2004 to preserve the monument and deepen public understanding through educational programming for teachers, students, and visitors. In partnership with Mural Arts Philadelphia, the Foundation inaugurated a new mural at the site in fall 2025. For more information, visit philaholocaustmemorial.org.

Participation is free, with a suggested donation of $18, all of which supports the Philadelphia Holocaust Remembrance Foundation.
