Rockin' the Capital
There’s only one USY International Convention...
And this year, it’s in Washington, D.C.! From December 21-25, 2008, all roads
will lead to the beautiful Marriott Wardman Park in the United States Capital
as it becomes the official International headquarters of USY.
There's nothing like the USY International Convention! That's because International
Convention brings together more than 1,200 USYers from all across North America
for five nonstop days of programs and fun. Whether you are looking for social
action, ruach sessions, or summer program reunions, there's something
for everyone at USY International Convention.
You'll simply love every minute of International Convention. There's no better
time or place to catch up with old friends and meet new ones from all over USY.
And as anyone can tell you, the memories and friendships you make keep going
even after Convention ends. From an awesome and exciting opening session to
excellent programs to free time spent singing around the piano to just being
with old and new friends, it's going to be fabulous for everyone at Convention.
This December, USY will head to the home of the U.S Capital and enjoy all the
excitement that Washington, D.C. has to offer! Convention delegates will enjoy
post-Convention programming in the D.C. area and visit some of history's one-of-a-kind
attractions. Located just steps from the Oval Office, the beautiful Marriott
Wardman Park will provide luxurious accommodations for our visit.
Each day at Convention will be more exciting than the day before as we celebrate
Israel's 60th Birthday! Through guest speakers, concerts, multimedia events
and interactive workshops, you’ll learn about Israel's culture and rich history.
You'll have a chance to give back to the community through Social Action projects,
visit our own Ben Yehuda Street, and celebrate at a Tel Aviv Disco!! There will
also be special sessions for members of the Heschel Honor Society, 613 Mitzvot
Club and HeChalutzim, as well as workshops focusing on leadership skills and
key issues for Jewish teens.
So don’t just sit there! Join us at International Convention 2008 this December
in Washington, D.C., where USY will be Rockin' the Capital!
