Young Judaea
Let’s keep our TY community intact this summer, even though we’re far apart. While nothing can replace Barryville, our kids will have three weeks of dedicated time with each other – and even our very special Saturday nights after Shabbat! They’ve been waiting all year for summer at TY; let’s give them their community and connection they need to get through these unusual times.
