In January, some of our Bogrim attended a great Israeli Hip Hop concert- Coolooloosh. Emilie Seckel attended the National Convention in Texas in February and was elected to the National Board.  We will be forming our club board this spring. Please contact Peter or Mindy Seckel if you will be in high school next year and are interested in helping run our Young Judaea Club. 

Next month two exciting events will take place. The first is the Spring Convention which will be at Sprout Lake on April 11^th through April 13^th. Sign up, make new friends and have a great time while you celebrate Shabbat “Young Judaean style”. You can register on the web site- www.youngjudaea.org.  Also on April 13, teens (and adults) from all over the Philadelphia area will be participating in J Serve- a Jewish community effort to combat hunger. Those who attend convention will be taken directly to J Serve from Camp Sprout. All others who want to volunteer please contact Mindy Seckel for further information. We will be sending details about these events by email.

Young Judaea’s year-round programs provide Jewish youth of all denominations with a positive Jewish experience and foster a close identity with Israel through stories, games, field trips, Shabbat experiences, social events, and exposure to Jewish and Israeli culture. Make friends in the Mercer / Bucks area and have fun!

 Did you know that involvement in Young Judaea’s programs has been shown to dramatically increase members' commitment to a Jewish life?........and besides that…it's fun!
