Close Your Eyes and Imagine...

Close your eyes and imagine this… In your day-to-day life, you can’t always live loud and proud. You keep your Jewish identity quiet just to fit in, to stay safe, to avoid being judged or hurt. Now imagine that for one weekend, all of that melts away. You’re surrounded by friends from around the world who get it. You can finally sing. Dance. Laugh. Be proud of your Jewish identity. That’s what NCSY Aspire provides for so many teens. A space to disconnect from the noise of the world and reconnect with who they truly are. Last week, over 150 teens chose to spend their winter vacation getting inspired, building community, and strengthening their Jewish identity. Now, as you listen to Shaya sing, imagine the weight and meaning behind every note.
