Israel Calendars
Regions will make their own regional Israel Calendars that will be sold for TO. For each month there will be a picture of a scene in Israel and the actual page of dates. The region may sell spaces on the pages for special events. For example: If someone wants to print their birthday they will donate $2 to TO and when the calendar is printed the date would say "Sarah's Birthday." Dates of regional events and chagim will also be printed. Calendars will be printed and later sold to the region. Before choosing the challenge this idea must be approved by the regional director.
Israel Mad Libs
Regions will write six (6) Mad Libs having to do with Israel. As with the traditional Mad Libs, USYers will write a paragraph about anything having to do with Israel. They will then pick out words (not only limited to the parts of speech but also things that advance the story) from the paragraph and rewrite the paragraph with those words missing. Mad Libs may be submitted at any time. Any USYer may write up to two (2) Mad Libs.
