Tidewater BBYO had an active agenda last month. The teens volunteered, socialized, and celebrated Shabbat as part of their March calendar.
During Operation Hamantaschen for PJ Library at the Simon Family JCC, the teens set up the event, baked, and delivered the hamantaschen to program participants on Sunday, March 9.
On Sunday, March 16, Tidewater chapters Old Dominion AZA and Simcha BBG held pick-up pickleball games with BBYO members from Richmond and Columbia, S.C.
Hattie Friedman, Simcha BBG’s Sh’licha, applied for and received a Jewish Enrichment Chapter Grant with BBYO. The chapter was awarded funds to purchase Shabbat items including candlesticks, candles, a kiddush cup, and a challah cover to be used for all future chapter Shabbat programming. The grant also included funds for Havdalah materials.
The Portnoy family hosted BBYO members in their home for Shabbat dinner on Friday, March 21. Another Shabbat dinner is already being planned.
Tidewater BBYO will host a joint BBG/AZA potluck seder on Sunday, April 20.
