On February 13-15, 2009, 6th – 12th graders from JRF congregations in the Midwest will have the opportunity to attend the exciting No’ar Hadash Midwest Youth Kallah.  No’ar Hadash is excited about continuing to enable and foster Reconstructionist teen community throughout the region.  As our youth movement continues to grow, it is now the time of year to begin to look forward to, and register for, our gathering of Reconstructionist teens from across the region.

We have a wonderful Kallah committee of Teens, Lay-adults, and Jewish professionals from the region that will be developing this amazing retreat weekend. This is a great opportunity for your teens to meet other Reconstructionist youth, have fun, take part in experiential Jewish learning, sing and dance, hang out, and be part of our exciting growing youth movement. And, they can do all of this at the Midwest Youth Kallah at Camp Henry Horner!

The cost of the weekend is only $185 (plus travel to Chicago) for registration forms that are postmarked by January 9, 2009. After that, the cost of the weekend will increase to $200.

Attached you will find the flyer and registration form for the event. Please feel free to make copies of these and to distribute then to all teens in your congregation. More information about the kallah and about No’ar Hadash, is available on our website at www.noarhadash.org.
