Teenagers to Take Part in the “March of the Living” About 4,000 Jewish teenagers from Jewish communities around the world are expected to converge upon Poland and Israel during April 1990 in a i|,nique two-week experience focusing on the two most signif icant historical events of our century — the Shoah and the rebirth of the State of Israel, ir. They will;leani about the martyrdom and heroism -of the Holocaust via visits to Treblinka and Mydanek and by participat ing in a two-mile “March of the Living” on Yom Hashoa from Auschwitz to Birkenau, along the same railroad tracks on which trains carried millions of Jewish victims to their deaths.

It is an organization which meets twice a month and has a mixture of fun events, community ser vice, religious programs and fundraisers. In Oct. USY helped decorate the Sukkah along with BBYO and the rest of the Jewish com munity. It was nice to tie strings to fruits and hand them to little children for them to hang; of course we also hung the fruit. USYers attended Simchas Torah services and enjoyed watching the younger children roll Rabbi Wilson with toilet paper as well as joining in the festivities such as having an Aliyah, singing creative tunes and having a good time. On Nov. 4, USY had a Re gressive Dinner which took place at Elisa Waldman’s and Lori Wittlin’s homes. It was an enjoyable evening for all. If you’re a member of USY, come and join in the fun; if you would like to join and need information about USY call Robert Gleib- erman, 537-5625 or Arlene Bronstein, 358-8938.
