LIFETIME MEMBERSHIP FOR THE CLASS OF 2016, HOLIDAY BALLROOM 4
10:45 PM
Seniors will enjoy their final international program (as members) by reflecting upon their time in
BBYO through fun and creative activities. You’ll get to network with BBYO alumni of all ages from
around the world and gain insight into Jewish life beyond high school. We’ll launch Joomie, a oneof-a-kind free app that will make it easier for you to find your “chosen roommate” – learn more at
joomie.org. And, as it is tradition to "give life" as a senior in AZA and BBG, you'll have a chance to go
even further and "gift life" to someone in need.
CHAPTER PROGRAM SHOWCASE
10:45 PM
24 Minute Film Festival, BBYO Center Stage
Lights, camera, action! You'll take an object, phrase and Cardinal or Menorah Pledge Principle and
make a short film in 24 minutes. Then, present your film to the rest of the group, demonstrating the
meaning of AZA and BBG values.
Host: BBYO Eastern Region: North Carolina Council
A New Birkat, BCC 344
Not every prayer is a card in front of you with Hebrew written on it. We’ll divide into three stations
and interact with the Birkat in different ways to gain our own interpretations of the blessing that we
recite after our meals.
Host: BBYO Eastern Region: North Carolina Council
