On April 28, our East Valley Chapters, Tovah BBG and Rabbi Marvin Meir Reznikoff, participated in BBYO’s International Community Service Day, J-serve 2019 by going to Veterans Oasis Park in Chandler. With 10 teens attending from both chapters, we got our hands dirty by spreading mulch to differentiate trails throughout the park and collected tortoise snacks for the two tortoises that live in the park.
Congratulations to our new chapter boards!

Teens head off to BBYO summer programs
Ariella Golden, Jordan Paige, Ellie Sims and Lyndsey Klein will all be attending International Leadership Training Conference (ILTC) for three weeks at B’nai B’rith Perlman Camp in Lake Como, PA.
A message to these teens: ILTC is the ideal program for Alephs and BBGs, as it empowers you to raise your voice and realize your potential through peer leadership. You’ll further develop your leadership abilities, learn how to shape a worldwide movement, and gain invaluable skills in effective team collaboration, communication strategies and relationship building.
These skills and more will help you succeed long after your AZA and BBG high school experience comes to an end. Through classic camp activities and unique bonding moments, you’ll build confidence, grow your personal networks with friends from around the world, and strengthen your Jewish pride.

Our weekly programs slow down over the summer and the BBYO chapters in the East Valley generally meet at least twice per month. Their events will be uploaded to the BBYO Website under Mountain Region, where you can check out their events!
