Senator Broden spoke to the younger grades about Indiana’s part time legislature and how laws for which he voted in the General Assembly impacted his full-time job as an attorney. He even fielded questions from the young students about his aspirations for the U.S. presidency! South Bend Hebrew Day School (SBHDS) received the highest rating  by the Indiana Department of Education. The invitations to the legislators were initially extended by SBHDS during a visit to the statehouse co-sponsored by Agudath Israel of America.
