USY has just ended with a spectacular year! Our chapter president Zach Williams put in endless hours to assure not a detail was missed. We started the year by creating tapestry murals for our "Sukkah Urbana" which brought modern art and Judaism to our Sukkot celebration. Our USYers came in on their 3 day weekend (some right before they had to leave town) to prepare a beautiful community Shabbat dinner. We all has a blast at our Mystery dinner that couldn't have been such a success without the gourmet cooking of Elisa Stein and the event coordination by Sara Marks and Jessica Stein. At Regional, our chapter received the SATO (social action/tikkun olam) award for highest contributing chapter! President Emma Bortz. We look forward to a great year!
Shalom,
Below is the finalized calendar of events for Pinwheel Region USY & Kadima for the coming year. Please be so kind as to mark these events in both your congregational and chapter calendars and to pass this on to your office administrator.
Please also note our Kadima Kinnus dates for the next 5 years. We typically run Kadima Kinnus during the first Shabbat of December. We urge all member congregations to avoid booking b'nei mitzvah during Kadima Kinnus weekend wherever possible. Besides hurting our programme, it often places youth in a difficult position when having to choose between attending a friend's or classmate's simcha or attending a much-anticipated regional convention.
