This spring, I had the opportunity to celebrate BBYO’s Centennial alongside my parents, close friends, fellow advisors, and other alumni in the Chicagoland area. It felt so special to connect (or reconnect) with these community members while reminiscing on the impact BBYO has had on our identities.  

For all of us, taking pride in our Judaism is as important as ever, and re-engaging in a space where we formed these roots helps instill strong values in future generations and benefits our larger community.  

Looking forward to seeing all we can accomplish together in the next 100 years! 💙
