NFTY-SO Fall Conclave
Hey Jacobs Camp! I’m Ben K., the Social Action Vice President of NFTY Southern. I am happy to report that last month’s NFTY-SO Fall Conclave in New Orleans was a huge success! In conjunction with TASTY, we hosted almost 100 NFTY-SO teens from across our region. Everyone had a great time participating in the space themed programming and were so happy to have their out-of-town friends all in one place.
I was most proud of our social action program where we had in-depth discussions about Israel and also made care packages full of essential items for the New Orleans Women and Children’s Shelter. I was so happy to see all the NFTY-ites in New Orleans and can’t wait to be with everyone again at our next event! Stay tuned on the @nftysouthern Instagram to hear about the BIG things we have planned super soon!
