More than 3,000 young Jewish people gathered in Washington, D.C. at the Omni Shoreham Hotel, March 2-4, for the fifth bi-annual United Jewish Appeal Young Leadership Conference entitl ed “Reaching the Dream.” The numbers made it the largest gathering of its kind ever in American Jewish history. Conferees spent three days attending meetings, listening to and questioning the experts so they could be better informed on the issues, such as U.S.-Israeli foreign policy, prospects for the peace process £ind church-state rela tions in America.
