THANK YOU, FLORIDA! The BBYO global family extends an enthusiastic, heartfelt THANK YOU to Florida's Jewish community for hosting BBYO International Convention 2018. We are honored to hold IC in Orlando, for the first time, as the local Jewish community celebrates 100 years of vibrant Jewish life. We are so appreciative of all that you did to prepare for our time here, for your warm welcome and for your loving hospitality. IC 2018 would not be possible without the support and energy of the Greater Orlando and South Florida Jewish communities. Thank you to Shayna Chazin, Scott Ehrlich, Robby Etzkin, Perle Gass, Marci Gottfried, Lori Green, Julie Levitt, Robin Mermelstein, Natalie Shrock, Elissa Silverman, Robin Siff, Shari Weissmark, Shari Wladis, the Aventura Turnberry Jewish Center, Congregation Ohev Shalom, David Posnack JCC, Jewish Academy of Orlando, Temple Shir Shalom, The Roth Family JCC and the unwavering dedication of the BBYO International Board of Directors. We also want to thank the Alephs, B'nai B'rith Girls, parents, alumni, advisors and volunteers of BBYO North Florida, Gold Coast and Miami Regions. In particular, we express deep gratitude to our local BBYO team: Jayme Epstein, Tina Donnelly, Skylar Haas, Samantha Heimsohen, Erica Levin, Gary Levin, Whitney Levy and Stacy Wanerman. As our Movement gathers for our largest International Convention yet, we are proud to celebrate AZA & BBG in a community rich with BBYO and Jewish history. As our leadership from across the world gathers for this tremendous moment, we are more inspired than ever to be the Jewish world's home for every Jewish teen, anywhere and everywhere, for generations to come.
TOGETHER WE WILL Jacob Lewis
