Build long-lasting friendships. Explore your Jewish identity. Most of all, have fun!
At the Shaw JCC, Jewish teens learn and grow through BBYO, an international organization that links Jewish high school students at the local, regional, national and international levels. Throughout BBYO's history, the organization has offered leadership and community service opportunities, Jewish education, a connection to Israel and positive identity to Jewish youth.
Through Aleph Zadik Aleph (AZA) for boys and B'nai B'rith Girls, teens connect with other Jewish teens in the Ohio Northern Region and--through conferences, youth gatherings, and trips--with Jewish teens throughout the world.
Club 78, for middle school kids, gets kids ready for the BBYO experience while providing fun ways for early teens to continue their Jewish journeys. See below for our great schedule of events! Club 78 Membership is $20 for one year or $36 for both; register using code 200.78.
Want to know more about Club 78 or BBYO? Call Tamar Sternfeld at 330-835-0052or email her here.
