National Convention 2025
In January, teens from across the country reunited in Claryville, NY for National Convention 2025; this year had the highest number of teens registered in more than a decade!
The teens had a magical Shabbat together – enjoying unplugging from everyday life and devices, connecting with one another, and participating in YJ shabbat traditions.
On Saturday, there was a meaningful educational program centered on Israel, featuring discussions on Israeli history, the current political landscape, and a special tribute to Omer Neutra, a beloved member of the YJ family.
On Sunday teens participated in a Conference on Antisemitism, this year’s National Initiative, with group discussions, workshops, and keynote presentations from Adela Cojab and Vanessa Hidary on their experiences. The teens also held an asepha to elect the incoming National Mazkirut! Thank you to everyone who was involved and participated in National Convention this year, it was a wonderful time together!
