Sample Letter

Dear Prospective SWAB member:

I am ecstatic at the idea that you may soon be the newest member of the International Study With A Buddy Program. SWAB is the newest and coolest way of encouraging USYers like yourself to take action and participate in leading services or reading Torah.

Are you interested in seeing some new faces lead services at your conventions? Do you want to learn something Judaic that you've never learned before? Well, here's your chance to put your face on the bimah. Are you tired of being the only one to ever read Torah or lead Kabbalat Shabbat services? Well, here's your chance to pass on the knowledge to your friends!

SWAB is an interactive program that buddies up USYers who know certain services / haforah / torah / etc. as teachers to USYers who want to learn those services / haftorah / torah / etc. Not only can you fulfill your dream of leading your friends in prayer, you can help someone else fulfill theirs! And, as a bonus - you also have the opportunity to meet a new person and make a new friend!

This is an opportunity that you should not pass up!! All you have to do is full out this application and wait for your assignment. USYers from our chapter will be paired up with USYers from across the region to study and learn together! By spending only on day every week or two either teaching or learning, you will be adding to the beautify of spirituality of USY. Thank you for your devotion and love of Judaism and USY!

Sincerely,

Chapter President                                Rel/Ed Vice President
