LAS VEGAS NCSY HOSTS LEADERSHIP SHABBATON

On the first Monday night of every month, NCSY and Yachad team up for Dinner N’ Learning. It is truly a sight to see, as it literally takes over the local pizza shop. NCSYers engage with Yachad members in conversation, eat dinner and share words of Torah with each other.

South Bay NCSY continues its uphill ascent, with its clubs in the South Bay area almost doubling in size and a new Jewish culture club in Palo Alto High School. More clubs are on the way with continued excitement and buzz building constantly. Additionally, this year has seen two new weekly programs open: Latte N’ Learning in Palo Alto and Dinner N’ Learning in San Jose. Public school teens get a taste of Jewish learning in a comfortable, inviting way.

NCSY recently held their 2nd Annual Leadership Shabbaton for Jewish culture clubs in Las Vegas. Seventy-five officers representing close to fifteen clubs joined in a weekend focused on leadership training and spreading the love of Israel in clubs throughout the West Coast. “We far surpassed the goal of the weekend by introducing our club leadership to a Shabbat experience, demonstrating the art of informal (hands-on) education, as well as strengthening their Jewish pride to continue their tremendous efforts,” said Rabbi Yehuda Maryles, Director of Las Vegas NCSY.
