For three cold days in January, more than 80 youth joined together at Camp Henry Horner (the site of Camp JRF) for the first ever No'ar Hadash regional event.  Fourth through twelfth graders from Shir Hadash, JRC, Beth Shalom, and the Reconstructionist Havurah of Cleveland took part in the incredible No'ar Hadash Midwest Regional Kallah.  Focusing on Israel and our connection to the Jewish homeland, there were plenty of opportunities for seeing old friends and making new ones, having in-depth discussions, exploring the Reconstructionist values of spiritual peoplehood, playing ga-ga, eating, singing, relaxing, and enjoying our time at camp.  Thanks to all those who made this event possible - it was a great success due to all of their hard work!
