Dear Friends of NCSY and JSU JAX,

 

Here in North East Florida we have been running a successful Jewish Student Union Program for several years with your help. We have opened JSU Clubs in Stanton, Atlantic Coast, Creekside, Bolles, Mandarin, Nease, and most recently Wolfson High School.

 

These programs together with our off-campus learning and immersive experiences have led to a strong high school division. Our high school participants attend a weekly learning program, monthly learning program and Shabbat and Holiday programming.

 

Now many parents have been asking us to expand our programming in the middle school sphere. We currently run a monthly social program for middle schoolers but with the higher demand for programming we are asking for your help.

 

With your help we will raise $4,000 by December 31st to allow us to expand our middle school program. We will use the money to fund a weekly learning program and expand our social programming for middle schoolers.

 

Each year for my birthday I have called on you to partner with me in sharing our precious heritage with the high school teens in North East Florida. This year I am asking you to partner with me in expanding our success to the middle school teens as well. Together we can make a difference.

 

Thanks,

 

Joey Hamaoui

P.S. Here are some quotes from our JSU Alumni:

 

"JSU has helped me gain a deeper sense and greater understanding of my Judaism" - Brandon M

 

"JSU impacted the person I am now by enabling me to have an impact at my primarily non-Jewish high school. This made me want to continue my Jewish involvement in college." - Zoe M

"JSU impacted the person I am today because it gave me a community to go through the rest of my life with." - Sara B

"JSU has made me in touch with so many different aspects of Judaism. It allowed me to foster a love of spreading awareness of what Judaism is to those who rarely or maybe never meet someone who's Jewish and it overall made me proud to be a Jew and proud of my Jewish heritage." - Jagger L

"JSU helped me stay connected to the Jewish culture and motivated me to rush a national Jewish fraternity" - Evan C
