BBYO is commonly referred to as “the leading pluralistic Jewish teen movement” but to members and alumni of the organization—it represents something significantly more.
BBYO members of Agudas Achim Congregation in Alexandria, and Rabbi Jack Moline, protested the arrest of Alan Gross outside the Cuban Interests Section in the District on Monday. Protests to pressure Cuba to free Gross are held on a weekly basis.
Thanks to their recent study on New York area Jewish teens, Brandeis University’s Cohen Center for Modern Jewish Studies has joined others in calling attention to the fact that teens are “dropping out” of Jewish life following the bar/bat mitzvah experience.
