This morning the convention body woke up dancing to the sounds of Shaharit Live, innovative and engaging morning services accompanied by band of USY musicians. After a rocking service, the Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel keynote speaker, Dr. Ruth Messinger, President of the American Jewish World Service, will take the stage to issue one last call to action to the teens.
As the teens get ready to return home, we hope they bring the lessons learned here back with them to their kehillot. We also hope that you will help fan their passions and drive to give back, so that what took place in Baltimore can have far reaching effects and take hold as a long-term commitment to Jewish values and USY. The education and encouragement of teen’s participation in all aspects of Jewish life is indicative of what USY tries to do year round with our positive programming and immersive, fun experiences.
And the fun doesn’t end here…
USY’s exceptional teen experiences are offered year round across North America, both on the regional and chapter level. For more information about exciting events coming up in your teen’s region, click here.
