Each year, BJE invites Jewish teens throughout Los Angeles to experience March of the Living, a life-transforming journey which fosters an enduring attachment to Judaism and to Israel.   

Joining thousands of teens from over 40 countries, Los Angeles area teens commemorate Holocaust Remembrance Day in Poland marching from Auschwitz to the death camp in Birkenau.  Traveling to Israel, teens observe Israel’s Remembrance Day for Fallen soldiers (Yom ha’Zikaron) and celebrate Israel’s independence Day (Yom Ha’Atzmaut) experiencing the joy and significance of Israel’s independence.   

The BJE March of the Living experience teaches a profound lesson in Jewish history, personal Jewish identity and has a powerful life-changing impact on its participants.  The program uniquely helps teens to face the most significant events in the modern history of the Jewish people as they weave them into their own personal connection to the Jewish people.   

Under the direction of Monise Neumann, the 2010 Los Angeles Delegation consisted of 7 remarkable Holocaust survivors and 162 extraordinary teenagers who joined 10,000 Jewish teens from over 40 countries around the globe in remembering our past, living the present and marching into the future.
