Resounding Success at BSY Overnight & Yard Sale
























BSY, Temple Beth Shalom Youth, spent the entire night before their last yard sale "camping out" in the synagogue's sanctuary, snacking, watching movies and preparing the goods to be sold to benefit their many activities. Not only did everyone involved have a fun time, but the bonds between these exciting new people and their friends were strengthened along with their connection with the Jewish community and its synagogue.

Temple Beth Shalom and BSY recognize the fact that youth must perpetuate Judaism, and are increasingly cognizant of the historical and cultural heritage of the Jewish People. Together they aim to bring about a meaningful and fully reciprocal encounter of Judaism, the Jewish people, and the Synagogue on one side, and the Jewish teenager on the other. As a result of this encounter, the Jewish teenager will, firstly, demonstrate and experience how the Jewish way of living, through study, action and fellowship, leads to personal fulfillment and growth while meeting his spiritual and social needs, and secondly, make a significant contribution to synagogue, community, society and the Jewish people.
