    • 50% of GETY: How NFTY Helped Maintain my Judaism When My Temple Closed Its Doors

      on September 28, 2018
      Even though I resented the drive to Sunday School every week and dreaded having to add Thursdays to the equation once I reached the fourth grade, it was still my home. It may have rented space from a church and had only three religious school teachers, but the community was like a family.

    • That time I spoke In Front of 27,000 People – March for our Lives

      on April 9, 2018
      Gun violence in America is more real and prevalent than ever. Sandy Hook happened when I was 12 years old and I remember exactly where I was when I found out that 26 children were murdered in cold blood.

    • Small Teen, Big Voice

      on November 7, 2015
      As reform Jews, we pride ourselves on inclusion, or to borrow the words of Rabbi Rick Jacobs: Audacious Hospitality. As our secular communities start to progress toward embracing the LGBT community, so does the URJ.

    • High Hopes for the High Holidays

      on September 29, 2015
      I remember the high holidays as a kid very well: huge dinner tables laden with soups, meats, and deserts; long winded services telling us to ask for forgiveness and look forward to a new year.

    • Becoming the Leader of Me

      on September 21, 2015
      The NFTY-SW Leadership Training Institute took teen leaders from workshop to workshop, program to program, but one in particular stood out to me.
