Eastern Region’s BBYO teens gathered for the annual Spring Cultural Convention at Camp Thunderbird in Lake Wylie, S.C. earlier this month.
Eastern Region is comprised of three councils: Virginia Council (all of Virginia excluding Northern Virginia), North Carolina Council and Southeastern Council (South Carolina and northern Georgia).
Twelve teens from Tidewater attended the convention, participating in chapter competitions, various programming, Jewish enrichment, and regional elections.
Tidewater’s Hayden Caplan was elected Regional Gizbor (treasurer). For the 2025 – 2026 year, he will work with counterparts from each AZA chapter in the region, providing support in areas of budget, grants, and fundraising.
Members met new friends, strengthened existing bonds, and explored their Judaism through the lens of BBYO’s traditions and rituals.
