NCSY's monumental Fall Regional Convention. The convention was held on November 11 -13 at the Aloft Tapestry Park Hotel in Jacksonville, Florida, and focused on the topic of "Why Be Jewish." Teens from Florida (South Florida and Jacksonville), Georgia (Savannah and Atlanta), North Carolina (Charlotte) and Alabama (Huntsville) enjoyed an energetic and inspirational Shabbat exploring their Jewish roots (see photo in the newsletter header). "Shabbat with NCSY is unlike any other Shabbat you may have," said Simone Weisberg,regional vice president. "During ebbing, we were one - one family, one community, one region." After a powerful ebbing and Havdalah, everyone enjoyed a Saturday night filled with ice skating, soccer and basketball. |
