During these challenging times, YJ Teens have jumped into action to support and speak up for Israel. Now, more than ever, it is important to come together as a community! Read on for ways to connect with your peers: Sign up for National Convention, participate in regional events, and more!
Join Young Judaea Teens in Northeast PA from January 12-15, 2024 for our annual National Convention! Come for a weekend of seeing old friends and making new ones while exploring aspects of Jewish identity, Zionism, pluralism, and tikkun olam. All programs and activities will be planned and run by the members of the 2023-2024 National Mazkirut, our teen governing leadership board. Participants will have the opportunity to elect their peers to the 2024-2025 National Mazkirut and make their voices heard!
