USY ur USY chapter continues to grow and evolve, and Owe were really busy in November with two chapter events and Hagalil USY’s Fall Kinnus. All who attended had a wonderful time!
We are looking forward to a delicious night on December 11 at our Iron Chef event. Focusing on foods traditionally consumed on Hanukkah, USYers will create a three course meal utilizing a special ingredient in each of them. Keep an eye out for the January - June calendar that will be out at the end of the month.
If you have a 9th-11th grader who is looking for a leader- ship opportunity, please reach out to our USY Advisor, Aly Greenstein, at [email protected]. USY has many leadership positions that are a great way for high school students to learn and grow.
We hope that all 9th-12th graders will join us on Decem- ber 11 from 6:30-8:00 at MJCBY. Hundreds of USYer’s at their opening dance!
KADIMA ur Kadima chapter continues to grow as we have more events and Omore Kadimaniks attend! In November, we had a great time in our Iron Chef competition. There were 20 ingredients displayed, and those gathered were asked to make three dishes: an appetizer, a main course, and a dessert, comprising of at least 18 of the ingredients throughout. The teams came up with some very imaginative ideas that tasted out of this world!
We look forward to our next event, Minute to Win It, happening on The Kadima Krew! December 18, after Religious school. Please let our Kadima advisor, Dania Rothenberg, know if you can attend at [email protected]. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to reach out!
