Life, Liberty, and USY!
There’s only one USY International Convention...
And this year, it’s in the place that loves you back: Philadelphia! From December 25-29, 2005, all roads
will lead to the beautiful Philadelphia Marriott Hotel, located in the heart of downtown Philadelphia, as
it becomes the official International headquarters of USY.
There's nothing like the USY International Convention! That's because International Convention brings
together over 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.
Philadelphia is the birthplace of the United States' independence. The Philadelphia Marriott's downtown
location makes it convenient to learn all you can from this city. From the Art Museum steps Rocky made
famous to national treasures like the Liberty Bell, Philadelphia's landmarks are world-famous. The
"City of Brotherly Love" boasts historical attractions, many of which are right down the street from our
hotel! Located in the heart of downtown Philadelphia, the Philadelphia Marriott will provide luxurious
accommodations for our visit.
On top of all this, you will explore the educational theme of disabilities at the Convention through
guest speakers, multi-media events and interactive workshops. You'll have a chance to give back to the
community through Social Action projects and cheer wildly at USY's first wheelchair basketball game. There
will also be speakers 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 2005 this December in Philadelphia and
enjoy Life, Liberty and USY!
