BBYO is a Jewish youth group that was formed just over 100 years ago to bring together Jewish teens from across the spectrum of Judaism to come together. It allows Jewish teens to meet people from across the country and around the world. BBYO consists of AZA for boys (known as Athens of the South in Nashville) and BBG for girls (known as Music City in Nashville). Throughout the year separate and coed events are held such as NSC/ Predators/Sounds Games, Bowling, Self-Care Shabbats, TopGolf, Brotherhood Dinners, Galentine's Party, Hamantaschen Baking, and much more. You can go to many events without being a member, but having a membership allows you to go to select events, Spring and Fall Regional Conventions, and International Convention.
Becoming a lifetime member is a one-time fee of $249 and information and registration can be found at https://bbyo.org/become-a-memb.... If you are a parent or teen who is unsure about BBYO, it is an unforgettable experience that allows leadership opportunities throughout the year and summer. BBYO gives teens the opportunity to make lifelong friendships and connections that will support teens with a community that is always there for them.
Delta Region Spring Convention is April 10-12 in Memphis, Tennessee, and it brings Jewish teens together from across Tennessee, Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Louisiana. You can register at https://bbyo.my.site.com/s/eve... .
Some upcoming, local events include an Athens of the South presentation night in late April and a Music City bouquet making with moms in May. Also in May, both BBG and AZA will be holding chapter board elections.
