10th year of Eternal Flame Fellowship

The Valley Chabad Teen Leadership Initiative launched its 10th year of the Eternal Flame Fellowship on Sunday, March 12.

To kick start the fellowship, high schoolers from throughout the Pascack and Saddle River Valley communities came to hear Holocaust survivor Bella Miller share her story of horror, strength, and inspiration.

She recounted the day the tattoo was engraved on her arm. “You were not anymore a human being; you were a number, and believe me, that number will never leave my mind: A24977. Thatʼs what I was.”

In the coming sessions the teens will explore appropriate responses to anti-Semitisim and discover the Jewish connection to Israel. The pinnacle of the fellowship is the trip to Washington, D.C., where theyʼll be joined by chapters from seven states for a weekend of learning, friendship, and Jewish pride.
