YOUTH

he talent show
was just one of
many programs
during the
week-long B'nai
B'rith Youth Organization
regional convention in
December. But it gave the
more than 400 teen conven-
tion participants a chance to
shine in front of their peers.
Kishon AZA and Shira
BBG were named "most
distinguished chapters" at
the convention, based on their
participation. Aliyah BBG
earned an honorable men-
tion, finishing second to Shira
in total points.
