At the GRS Religious School (Stanwich School)

Greenwich Reform Synagogue's Adult Education Program is excited to announce a VERY SPECIAL EVENT in light the growing extremist threats.

Ahmad El Assaad and Abir El Assaad, the founders of "Saving the Next Generation", 

Marv Berenblum will be making a presentation:

Fighting Extremism in the Middle East Region - How Saving the Next Generation is Inculcating Human Values and Respect for People Regardless of Religion, Nationality, Ethnicity or Gender

The Presentation will be followed by a Q&A session. A light breakfast will be served.

The El Assaads are founders of Saving the Next Generation, a secular, non-sectarian foundation which works with underserved young people in the Middle East between the ages of 10 and 22, regardless of religious affiliation, gender, ethnicity or nationality, to eliminate extremism. SNG promotes a culture of life, liberty, peace and opportunity by encouraging and fostering young people through education, diversity and human values while inspiring acceptance of and respect for each other's differences. SNG achieves this transformation through a series of fun-packed co-educational weekend camps, instructive day trips and by providing scholarships for talented students to leading universities, both regionally and internationally.
