Nashville BBYO kicked off the fall semester with an event at Pins Mechanical Co. The event drew 65 teens, who enjoyed bowling, yard games, and slushies while socializing. The Nashville chapters welcomed 8th graders, who are eligible to join this semester. Libby Stepakoff, N’siah (president) of Music City BBG said, “Kickoff was such an amazing experience, and it was fulfilling to see the growth Nashville BBYO has had over the last two years.”
Throughout the semester, there will be a variety of events hosted by the Nashville chapters: Athens of the South AZA (boys) and Music City BBG (girls). Current plans include a brotherhood dinner and video game night, a big sis/lil sis challah baking event, and a fall bonfire with an Israeli flair, courtesy of Nashville shlicha, Ziv Shemesh.
BBYO membership is available to Jewish teens in grades 8-12 and is the world’s largest pluralistic Jewish teen organization. Membership is open to Jewish teens from all backgrounds and practices. Whether you keep Shabbat every week or are Jew-“ish”, you are welcome here! As BBYO teen leader Shira Binshtein said, “My favorite part of BBYO is the Jewish community I have found, especially the Jewish teen community”.
