Join us for a BBYO Reunion Kick-Off on August 20th!

A collaboration between the Jewish Federation of St. Joseph Valley & Michiana Jewish Historical Society

Aug 7, 2023

BBYO is celebrating its 100th anniversary!

In anticipation of the celebration, the Michiana Jewish Historical Society and the Jewish Federation are planning a kick-off on Sunday, August 20 from 3-5 PM at Jewish Federation with snacks and a discussion of how we can plan for a full-blown reunion in Summer 2024! Slideshow? Singing? Softball?

This is open to anybody who was involved in any way with BBG or AZA – from those involved in the 1950s to those involved in the 2000s. Come ready to share stories and ideas of how to make our reunion a success. Please invite others to join our group and let us know if you can make it on August 20th!
