What a week BBYO Mountain had! Our Regional Shlichim, Sonia Rosenberg and Jaren Davidson had the opportunity to interview 2 soldiers who flew in from Israel in partnership with The Jewish Agency for Israel and Center for Jewish Philanthropy of Greater Phoenix about their experiences serving in the army, and their personal reflections after October 7th. It was a powerful Yom Hazikaron event.
Days later, we are so proud to share BBYO had 5 teen leaders awarded at the Valley of The Sun J Israel @ 78 event! Mazal tov to Aleyna Lange (Frankfurter BBYO) Alyssa Levin (Shapiro BBG) Jaren Davidson (Salk AZA) Mason Zinman (Kennedy AZA) and Mia Kirschenbaum (Frankfurter BBYO) on this achievement! The Teen Torch Lighter Award celebrates local leaders committed to Israel by promoting education, unity, and hope within our community.

We hope everyone had a fun Purim!! Our teens across Mountain Region were busy with Purim events all across our cities and communities. Tucson teens had a fun Purim Pickleball event, and joined Handmaker: Tucson's Non-Profit Continuing Care Retirement Community for Purim fun! Our 7 Phoenix chapters held “Purim Presents” raising funds for Arizona Kosher Food Pantry, and crowning, Jonas Salk AZA’s Asher Golub as Mr. BBYO! Hamantaschen were ate, masks were made and groggers were spun. Big thank you to our Regional shlichim, Sonia Rosenberg and Jaren Davidson for getting all teens into the Putim spirit! Purim Sameach!

Mountain Region BBYO teens have started the fall term strong! Our word of the year is community, or Kehillah and our teens have embraced this in each city. From Las Vegas, Entratter AZA who has chosen a monthly StandUP cause of helping to make Shabbat dinners possible for those who cannot on their own, to our Tucson JCC BBYO teens going to Handmaker monthly and visiting with the residents, to our StandWithUs Phoenix Fellows organizing an amazing October 7th Jewish identity program made possible by Center for Jewish Philanthropy of Greater Phoenix. And finally, our Regional and chapter Shlichim collecting donations from chapters to help support the amazing work Jews for Justice. We couldn’t be more proud of our teens (and advisors!) being active members of our Jewish communities. Stay tuned for more MountainMitzvahs.
