Looking to connect with other
Jewish high school students in the
Charlotte area? Then BBYO, the
world’s leading pluralistic Jewish
youth movement is the place for
you. Charlotte BBYO has four
active chapters, two AZA (boys)
and two BBG (girls) with over
160 high school students
involved.
So what is BBYO about?
BBYO is a place for Jewish teens
to call home. They have the
opportunity to develop their lead
ership skills by leading their peers
and serving their communities
while exploring Judaism and
building lifelong friendships.
Every year, teens in BBYO chap
ters have many opportunities to
plan, implement and participate in
great activities. The following is a
partial list of activities that our
Charlotte teens coordinated
and/or participated in over the
past year: weekly chapter pro
grams and meetings. Up All Night
for Israel, J-Serve, sleepovers,
conventions, dances, pool parties,
volunteering at the Purim
Carnival and more. We want to
welcome Amy Shapiro, an
alum of Charlotte BBYO and
a teacher at Lansdowne
Elementary to her new posi
tion as Charlotte BBYO City
Director. Amy along with
our volunteer chapter advi
sors provides guidance and
supervision to the teens in
Charlotte BBYO. Amy can
be reached at ashapl23@
aol.com.
In August, Charlotte
BBYO kicked off the year
with our annual Back to
School Pool Party where we
collected new school supplies
to help Jewish Family
Services. Our four chapters, Chai
Chaverim BBG, Ohavim BBG,
Hank Greenberg AZA and
Mickey Barak Aberman AZA are
ready to begin programming on
Tuesday nights and are excited to
welcome new members to
Charlotte BBYO. It’s never too

Hebrew Highlights
It’s time to check out all of the
new and exciting programs at
Hebrew High for 5771. Our theme
for the first session is “Doing
Jewish.” All of our electives this
session will focus on ways that
people practice their Judaism.
There will be great new electives,
amazing special programs and
outstanding retreats. Here are just
a few of the elective highlights:

ARE YOU PREPARED
FOR LONG TERM CARE?
Find
Out
►
♦ What long term care is and why you and your loved
ones are at high risk for needing care at home or in a
facility.
♦ Why the limited benefits from Government (Medicare
or Medicaid) are not a good choice for your long term
care needs.
♦ At what age should you consider buying long term
care insurance. You will be surprised to know why and
how buying at a younger age is better for you.
If you don’t want to put the burden of long term care on
your family then contact me for alternative solutions.
