The energy and passion exhibited by all as they celebrated their love for Israel led to a night that will not be easily forgotten. Organized by the teens them selves, the evening was a mix of everything from dancing and discussions. The night was kicked off by havdallah, fol lowed by Israel Advocacy speaker Neil Lazarus, an engag ing and detailed session with tangible tools for talking about Israel. The rest of the night was V spent eating hummus and falafel and participating in programs that covered Israeli music and games, television and current events. The teens even organ- ized a conference call with teens from our Sister City of Hadera, where they learned more about life as a teenager in Israel. The atmosphere in the event was very special. A special thank you to the adults from the teen coalition (BBYO, JCC, USY, NFTY, JFGC, JFS, and Hebrew High). We stayed up all night for Israel! ^ JEWISH^ FEDE^RATION5 OF GREATER CHARLOTTE TEmpLEBETHEL Jgwish FaiTiily SERVICES Young Adult Division Hayride Tributes to the 2010 Annual Campaign The Young Adult Division of the Jewish Federation brought a hayride-full of young adults to Carrigan Farms on a beautiful, crisp Autumn night.
