Nearly 30 Jewish teens came together for an afternoon at the movies on Sunday, December 12. The teens, ranging from sixth through 12th graders, represented OSTY, BBYO, and many area synagogues. Everyone enjoyed popcorn, refills of soft drinks, making new friends, being in-person, and having the Cinema Café movie theater all to themselves while watching Ghostbusters: Afterlife.
Based on the excitement and success of this event, more teen programming for all ages and across denominations and youth groups can be expected in the months ahead.
To learn more about BBYO or other ways for teens to get involved in the Tidewater Jewish community, contact Dave Flagler, director of Camp and Teen Engagement at United Jewish Federation of Tidewater, at DFlagler@UJFT.org or 757-452-3182.
