Earlier in the week of March 22, Temple Israel of Lawrence concluded an exchange program with Orthodox Jewish students from Rome. In addition to educating youngsters about a different culture, the program was also designed to promote Jewish unity in the Five Towns between the Orthodox and Reform faiths with the Italian high school students spending the Sabbath with families from the Hebrew Academy of Long Beach.
