City NCSY FNL

We kicked off our YICC FNL with a blast joining together in an upbeat carlebach
style kabbalat shabbat! The excitement continued as close to 40 teens from all over
the Los Angeles area and even some from la Jolla sat down for a traditional Friday
night Mexican dinner. After some lively singing challah and beef fajitas we enjoyed
informal discussion about the existence of G-d. Finally it was time for desert at
rabbi Fe's house where we hung out till midnight! It was awesome and we can't wait
for the next one!  

The Hunt for "Emotions."

West Coast NCSY’s East Bay chapter in Northern California had a very creative event last week that had all their NCSYers cycling through a wide range of emotions. West Coast NCSY runs great social events that occur almost every week somewhere in the region. The East Bay event was a scavenger hunt at San Francisco’s Fisherman’s Wharf. However, this was not your grandfather’s scavenger hunt. It was a digital photo hunt with the mission of capturing different “emotions.” The NCSYers had a great time running all around the Wharf with their friends.

West Coast NCSY Super Bowl Parties: Huge Success

West Coast NCSY Super Bowl Parties Were A Huge Success! The City and Valley NCSY had two wonderful Super Bowl parties this past Sunday. City NCSY had over 50 Jewish teens watching the Colts beat the Bears on one big screen and one plasma. They also enjoyed pool, ping pong, friends, and good food, which included a Jeff’s hot wing competition.

The Valley had close to 80 kids with some serious fans of football and basketball. Basketball? While the game was on the big screen there was also a hard core full court basketball game going on in the backyard. Everyone enjoyed junk food and pizza, and all their buddies from around the valley.

It was great to have all these Jewish teens together enjoying being with other Jewish teens, eating kosher food and hanging out with West Coast NCSY advisors. It was a good game and an even better event!

This week at South Bay NCSY:

Jan. 27 Friday Night Oneg at Emek Beracha in Palo Alto - Food, Friends, Games and More! It is going to be awesome!

Movie nights to kick off school vacations!

The City chapter had a wonderful movie night last Saturday night. They enjoyed a great Ben Stiller movie, pizza, friends and fun. The NCSYers had a fun evening to relieve some of the stress of the past weeks finals. At the end of the evening they were visited by a Jewish music artist, Reb Shmuel, who gave every NCSYer there a copy of his new CD.

On the same night, the East Bay Chapter in Oakland also had a great Movie night. They enjoyed a funny Will Ferrell movie, pizza, friends and fun as well. Among the attendees were two Jewish young ladies who attend a private Christian school and were excited to spend a Saturday night with Jewish kids their age. Good times were had by all!
