Belated Thanksgiving

By ADAM BENDER, TEEN ENGAGEMENT DIRECTOR

I want to take the opportunity to thank our teen community and those involved for an amazing start to a wonderful year. December and winter break symbolize the mid-point of our year. In this short amount of time, we’ve accomplished much, and can already see the growth in our teens.

We established a new Teen Board, who have been hard at work planning and executing programs for their peers. We have a dynamic Hebrew High, where just over 20 teens a week celebrate being Jewish in different and creative ways. As November came to a close, we opened our doors to host over 100 Jewish teens from all over the Hudson Valley. I think it’s safe to say we’re off to a great start!

Thank you for everything, have a Happy Hanukkah, a wonderful Winter Break, and a restful “New Year.” Let’s keep this momentum rolling!
