Rachely Bardo, from the Valley Chapter, exemplifies the Jewish concept of being a "Light Unto the Nations".  Anyone who has met this amazing young woman knows that she is eager to learn, eager to grow and even more eager to give.  As an up and coming Jewish leader, Rachely was chosen to represent the OU youth at a recent convention in Washington , DC .  As for personal choices, Rachely always chooses to take the path less traveled as a means to personal growth.  The strength and passion in which she lives as a Jew on a daily basis is inspiring to us all.  As her journey continues, we know that she will always make everyone at NCSY proud and accomplish great things. Congratulations Rachely!!
