Fall Kallah/Kamp Kadima
Fall Kallah took place at Camp Young Judea from October 18th to October 19th. The convention theme was the SWUSY King. We followed the SWUSY king throughout the convention to witness his life cycle as we evaluated our own. This convention was one without a dull moment. Right from the start there was energy from the board and the USYers as it was the largest convention we’ve had in years. Throughout the weekend USYers and Kadimaniks participated in multiple sessions that discussed the Jewish life cycle and its process. One of the major life cycle events in any persons life is marriage. At Fall this year we had a mock wedding that was treated just like a real wedding but with unsuspecting bride and groom. The bride, groom, bridesmaids, and groomsmen were all drawn randomly. Douglas Coppock from CLUSY and Jorja Rose from SOONER were chosen to be wed. It was definitely a terrific experience for those who had never been to a Jewish wedding. After the wedding there was a wedding party and dance to celebrate. What a party that was! Another big event at every Fall Kallah is Senior Auction. Aaron Weintraub did a wonderful job putting together the entire event. This year we ended up raising more money than last year! The convention was a terrific experience and everyone who came went home with knowledge in their pockets, memories in their mind, and a smile on their face.
