LINYC YJ Jewish Food Tour

We suggest bringing $10-20 for yummy noshes.

New Jersey Young Judaea: Rikud-A-Thon

Dance your tuchus off with New Jersey YJ at the Rikud-a-thon overnight, our own movement’s take on charity dance marathons popularized by colleges around the country! Bring some cash to buy NEW NJ Young Judaea merchandise!

In correlation with our Women’s Health National Initiative, we will be raising money for The Pad Project, a non-profit dedicated to ending the stigma against menstruation. The project, developed from the Oscar-winning documentary, “Period. End of Sentence.” aims to supply women in developing countries with biodegradable pads made from locally sourced materials, helping these women gain independence. We will screen the documentary at the event!
