USY Convention is coming to B’nai Zion
We are in need of families to host 2 or more USY'ers the weekend of March 2-4, 2012.  The amazing weekend for those in grades 9-12 will bring together Jewish teenagers from Tennessee, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Alabama.  The teens will be at B’nai Zion for the majority of the time.  They will sleep in hosts’ homes both Friday and Saturday night.  You will be responsible to provide a dairy breakfast Saturday morning and some snacks.  We also ask that you transport the teens to and from your home several times during the weekend.  All of their free time will be spent with the convention. You do not need to have teenagers presently living in your home to be a host. If you are able to help, please contact Jason ASAP.
 
Cough and Cold and Flu, Oh my!
It’s the time of year when many people are facing illness.  Please remember, if your child is sick enough to stay home from their public/private school, they should also stay home from Hebrew school.  If you have any questions, please contact Jason.
