Two generations of young Jewish men combined forces on Sunday, March 30 to revitalize the garden at Strelitz International Academy.
Nadiv, the young professional men’s fundraising group for United Jewish Federation of Tidewater, worked with Old Dominion AZA, the boys’ chapter of BBYO, to pick weeds, add fresh soil and provide general maintenance of the garden.
The staff at Strelitz, especially Elyssa Brinn, director of the Early Years Program at Strelitz, coordinated the needed supplies.
Nadiv and BBYO also planted a pomegranate tree, which in time will bloom orange leaves, in memory of the Bibas boys who were killed in captivity in Gaza.
Nadiv hopes to do more shared programming with OD AZA and show the teenagers what it means to participate in the Jewish community after college.
OD AZA plans to assist Nadiv with the first-ever Nadiv Poker Night, which will take place on Tuesday, May 13, 6 – 10 pm. The evening’s goal is to field 100 poker players inside the Fleder Multipurpose Room at the Sandler Family Campus. To register and for more information, go to jewishva.org/nadivpoker. Top prizes include a $500 Amazon gift card and more.
