I have always been a big advicator for NFTY and my Jewish faith. This year NFTY's Convention is being held in Los Angles, California. The only problem is i cannot go because my mom says it is to far. All Though i do respect my moms wishes and her judgment ican not get past the part that she let me go to camp this year which was in New York. At Convention i will learn about my Judism, mental health, import issues in the world and also i will get to meet hundreds of jewish teens all across north american. so my question for you is will you help me get to convention?

I have compiled the feedback from this petition into a formal letter that identifies the logistical gaps my mother raised regarding the travel plans. I am now waiting for a response from the regional youth director to see if there are additional chaperoning options available for West Coast transit.

The response to this proposal has reached a level that necessitates a formal presentation to my mother. I am currently drafting a letter that outlines the educational benefits of the convention to use in our next discussion.
