Letter From The Editor

Hey New Frontier!
Welcome to the first edition of “Discovering New Frontier”. As you can see this is the “Grapes on the Bridge” edition. This includes San Francisco (SFUSY), Sonoma County (SCUSY), Marin (MUSY), and of course Modesto (MOUSY). We picked “grapes on the bridge”, as Sonoma county is known for their grape growing, and of course the Golden Gate Bridge. We wanted to do, “Grapes on the Bridge….Hey look there’s a cow!” but it just didn’t sound as good. Don’t worry Modesto, we still love you!
In this edition you will be able to learn all about these four fabulous chapters. They’ve filled us in on their upcoming events and what makes their chapters so great.
Another exciting thing people from these chapters were involved with this summer were USY summer trips.  Many New Fro USYers did USY summer trips this summer and had a blast. They will be telling you all about their expeditions around the United States, Israel, Poland, Spain and more!

On behalf of REB, we’d like to thank you all for coming to LTI and having a fantastic time. In our gratitude we filled out funny surveys for you to enjoy, so make sure to check those out; along with my page of incredibly cheesy jokes that I think are funny and no one else usually does. If you laugh at more than two of the jokes please contact me immediately…we’re probably soul mates.

Enjoy the newsletter. If there is anything you are interested in seeing or writing about please let me know. I’m always up for suggestions. Also, when the time comes to dispose of this masterpiece of prose and intellect (although that time should never actually come) please recycle!

Much Love,
Anna Goldberg- Communications VP

 

 

 

A NOTE FROM C WALK…

Hey New Frontier USY!
My name is Cynthia White and I am your USY (& Kadima) Regional Youth Director! This starts my fourth year as Regional Director, and I couldn’t be happier than to be here in Marin with yall! The Regional Board and I are so excited for the year to come, but before we can move ahead, I’d like reflect on my summer with you all. I spent this summer staffing a new program, USY on Wheels EAST, a shorter version of Classic Wheels specifically for incoming freshman. Over the month of July I traveled with 35 new USYers from across North America. Watching them experience their first taste of USY was really incredible. At the end of the summer I knew that for them it was only the beginning of four absolutely fabulous years of USY! And now as you leave LTI ‘07 don’t think of it as the end of LTI but the start of an amazing year!
So what’s going to make this year so amazing, well many things. First and foremost- CoNvEnTiOnS!! This year we have an amazing line up of conventions for you- well be trying out some new sites (Walden West - ISS and San Mateo Marriott- May) and will be back at some familiar spots (Beth David/SAUSY- Fall Kinnus). All of this PLUS- INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION!!! This year it’s coming out west! Get ready for an amazing week in LA and Anaheim! We’ll be seeing So Cal including a trip to Disney Land and learning about Tzedekah! I hope to see you there! I as well hope to see you all around the region lots this year! Remember if you ever need anything all you have to do is call or email! I am here to support and help strengthen USY not only in the region but in your chapter! Can’t wait to get this year started!

-Cynthia

MEET THE CHAPTERS

SCUSY

Sonoma County USY is getting off to a great start this year. At out first event, an election Luau/ pool party on August 19th, we doubled our usual attendance from last year. At the elections, Jacob Kreger and myself were elected as co-Presidents, Ethan Sherman as Executive VP, Oren Stoelting as SATO VP, Ben Jones as Communications VP, and Abigail Selya and Nathan Edelstein as Freshmen Representatives. Everyone at the event participated in voting and had fun swimming and discussing this year’s SCUSY activities. At our next event on September 11-13, we will be preparing and selling challah baskets at Congregation Beth Ami as a fundraiser. The baskets are filled with a round challah, honey, and apples for Rosh Hashanah. Later this year, we will be participating in the local Chicken Soup Bowl fundraiser in Santa Rosa, a challah baking class, and a Shabbat dinner with the Hillel group at Sonoma State University. Although SCUSY is a small chapter, we have an amazing group of members, a wonderful advisor, and an enthusiastic chapter board that will work to make this year great.

 

 

MOUSY

Welcome to the world of MOUSY, or Modesto USY. MOUSY may be smaller, but it does not lack at all in ruach, enthusiasm, or love for USY and New Frontier. We are prepared this year to be the best chapter we can possibly be! Our wonderful
chapter consists of an amazing board. Anna Meyer as President, Aleah Gonsalves as Exec/Programming VP, Rachel Xavier as Mem/Kad VP, Hannah Hyden as SA/TO VP, Marissa Goodman as Israel Affairs VP, and Becca Brotslaw as Communications. This year our first event is going to be our big fundraising event. We are selling

We encourage everyone to come and help make baskets on Sept. 11 from 4-6 pm at the synagogue. Come for fun, friends, and food! It should be a great fundraising event to kick off a
great year! MOUSY is so excited for another wonderful year of USY to start!!

 

 

 

SFUSY

Here in the San Francisco chapter we like to have fun. Our favorite activities range from going to see our hometown Giants or venturing off to Walnut Creek for a fun game of Laser Tag. When were feeling a bit worn-out and just want to kick back, yet have a good time, we have events like broom hockey or a BBQ on the beach. This year our first event is going to be a poker night/screening of Casino Royale/raffle. As you can see it will be jammed pack with fun. For the past three years this has been our kick off event where we get a variety of members from the wide spectrum of High Schools in San Francisco. If you are interested in joining our awesome chapter or just want to have a good chat, email the President, Matthew Butrimovitz, at his super-sweet email, cdude105@yahoo.com.

 

 

MUSY

This year Marin USY is hosting our very first convention, LTI! Marin put in a lot of hard work into helping plan programs and helping out Regional Board. Marin’s chapter board is led strongly by Jake Hassid and includes, Asher King Abramson, Gabe Schwartz, Grace Schwartz, Josh Attias, Marty Zack, Melanie Zelikovsky, Robin Boedecker, Shoshana Cantor,and  Sivan Yahdav. Many MUSYers went on summer trips this summer and had an amazing experience. Marin has a lot of great events planned for the year and we look forward to seeing you at some. Thanks Marin for hosting LTI!

 

The Conservative Movement and Homosexuality

Hi, my name is Aryeh Canter. I am the Rel/Ed VP of New Frontier and am also from San Francisco USY. In San Francisco there is a famously large gay community so I found it fitting that I will discuss the recent Gay Teshuvah that came out and how it will affect our movement.

Now that the water has died down with all the politics the truth of the matter is that it was not as big of a deal as many people believed. No synagogue left the movement (Thank G-d) and we have simply opened ourselves up, allowing more people to act truly how they are and not have to pretend they are someone else.

The best part of the teshuvah is that technically it does not break halacha, a concern many of the more religious members of our community believed. In the torah it simply states that a man shall not lie with a man as he lies with a woman. This is still technically not allowed of the Rabbi’s in our movement, while they acknowledge there will be no which hunts to discover who is breaking the rules.

In the end, I feel this teshuvah is good for our movement. Many people were angered when egalitarianism was first introduced to the conservative movement, but now today it is what any people would consider the cornerstone of how we practice. I am personally proud of the Rabbis of the CJLS for making the hard decision when it counts but still being able to keep the halachic standards, which are extremely important in our movement.

 

 

 

My Israel Experience
By Jake Hassid

 

 USY Eastern Europe Israel Pilgrimage has been the most memorable experience of my life.  It was a trip I will most definitely never forget.  Before I left, I was not really sure what to expect.  I had only been on the board of my chapter one year and had been to one single regional event and no international events.  This would be a totally new experience for me.  I left home knowing nobody besides one kid from my chapter who was a grade above me, but we still knew each other pretty well.  I left from my house at 3:45am to get on a plane from San Francisco to New York, which I was not too happy about, but I still kept in mind that I was going to Israel.  I arrived at the hotel in New York still, of course, only knowing one kid, and after the orientation, I still only knew one kid.  We were given our rooms and roommates of which none I knew, but when I arrived at the room, there was another kid who also knew absolutely nobody on the trip, so we immediately became friends.  Once we had dinner and were told to go back to our rooms, I met the rest of my room mates, of whom neither of the two I really connected with at first.  After talking to them for a while, I learned that I shared the interest of hacky-sack with one of them, his name was Zack.  After that point we remained good friends and would try and play hacky-sack in every country we went to, which we did.  My other room mate, Josh, was going into college, while I was only going to be a Junior, so I didn't really think we would bond too well.  This was one thing of which I was totally wrong about. 
We left for Budapest the next morning, which was very exciting for me seeing that I had never been out of the country before.  Budapest and Prague were amazing sights. The place that probably brought my group together the most was Poland.  In Poland, we saw all of the concentration camps and ghettos, which was very difficult for many people including myself.  It was there where many of those acquaintances quickly became friends and where many other group members formed friendships.  It was here where it became obvious how amazing, friendly, supportive, and just awesome our group was. 
After Poland, we went to Israel, which is where all the magic happened.  After being in Eastern Europe for two weeks, the desire to go to Israel was inexplicable, especially knowing that we would be getting real food from real restaurants (the food in Poland was some of the grossest I had ever ingested).  The first day in Israel, we went to Emek Refaim Street, which is the greatest food street in the world.  On this street was a restaurant called Norman's, which is where six boys from our group ate the kilo burger, which is the world's largest burger (2.2 pounds of meat).  That was definitely an experience that brought our boys closer, or at least the six of us.  Very quickly I gained more and more friends, a few of which I became very close with (Nicky, Karen, the Aarons, Lipper, Sackman and many more).  
 After our first week was spent in Jerusalem, we traveled to the south and then the North for two weeks hitting the Dead Sea, another underground cave, many hikes, an archeological dig and tons of other awesome things.  After those two weeks, we made our way back to Jerusalem for our last week together.  In that week we did some community service with Danny Siegel, which included going to the Israel Guide dog center for the blind, planting trees, and meeting with some other community service organizations.  That week we also had some lectures, one led by Neil Lazarus and a movie about an American soldier who joined the Israeli army and died in the Israeli army named Michael Levin.  This story moved many of the teens in our group as well as some of our madrichim, who had already seen the movie before. 
 The last couple days of our trip were spent closing things up.  We had a talent show and a Mr. Sheva contest which involved dressing up (or down), having a talent to show the group, and being asked a question.  After each act, we would go around and collect SA/TO money for which the audience thought had the best act.  I was a contender in this contest, in which I dressed up, did some "magic" or as I call it "Ra-tt-ta" Magic, and answered the very difficult question "How long does it take you to screw in a light bulb?" of which I answered with the very well thought answer of "false".  Each of the performers had an assistant who collected the money after your act, my assistant and good friend, Dov, collected 300 Shekels, making me the winner of the Mr. Sheva contest.  The next day we did many closing activities, including the staff- group gift exchange.  By this time of the trip, there was not a single person that was not a friend of mine and me a friend of them.  By the end of the trip we were extremely close to one another and still are very close to one another, which is truly amazing.  Every person in the group was truly amazing, awesome, and the exact group of teens to make this trip a once in a life time event.  To some people, praying everyday is not enjoyable, and to tell the truth, I was not a big fan of it myself, but I knew before I went on this trip that as a Jew in America, this is a trip you cannot miss.  It is something that will change your life and will make an impact on many decisions you make during your life.  It has been two weeks and it has affected my way of thinking, has affected my way of making choices, and has already affected my future.  Every single Jewish teenager in America should go to Israel and should visit the concentration camps because the effects of this trip on every moment of your life will truly be momentous. 

 

 

 

Robin and Gabe Do America, or, Mission Mitzvah 2007: Hella Tight

by Gabe Schwartz

 

I’m sure you’ve all USY summer program promotional videos, and as you therefore know, they generally go something like this: first, an outline of what the trip is, followed by little video clips, followed by random kids talking about how “it was the most amazing summer of my life.” Before I went on Mission Mitzvah, I assumed that they were all exaggerating, and that, in reality, it was just a bus, a few thousand miles, and some Jews.
            I have never been more wrong in my entire life. Not only was it incredible in every possible way, but it gave me the best education I’ve ever had. How so, you ask? Well…
            First off, the trip was eye-opening on a whole slew of levels. In Little Rock, the streets were emptied when it was time to go to church. In Amarillo, a woman went to the back of the line to avoid standing next to Jews. In San Francisco, some people were shocked to see gay couples walking down the street. In Idaho, a man asked if my friend Zak, who is half Cuban, was “even an American.” Those of us who were male and wore slightly slimmer shirts elicited stares all over the country (except, of course, the Northern California/Reno area!). For someone like me, who has lived in a place where being different isn’t all that enormous of a deal, it changed my whole perspective on the country. Equally mind-altering was the kindness that we were shown by people in every state or town we visited, and the jolly nature of some Harley’s Angels we met in South Dakota. In short, all my stereotypes were proven wrong or at least altered, and it didn’t even take two months.
            Secondly, my knowledge not only of prayers but of Jewish thought in general increased exponentially this summer. I went in only knowing how to read Hebrew, and went out knowing the Shacharit, Torah, Musaf, weekday Mincha, and Shabbas Mincha  services, plus most of Kabbalat Shabbat. Even more exciting was that I learned the meaning of the prayers I was saying, and, as a result, praying took on a new role in my life: it was a respite from the day, a chance to be with the people I love, and a chance to say something that maybe, just maybe, might mean something special.
            But the most important thing I gained from the trip can’t even be described; the bond you and your fellow Wheelniks share by the end of the trip is an unbreakable one, and no one could even begin to understand how incredible it was without having been there. I have never been in a community like a Wheels bus, and I’ve never felt more accepted. We were all part of something bigger, and while we couldn’t really name what made it so special, we all knew that we loved each other beyond anything I could have imagined previous to Mission Mitzvah. Amongst these people that I loved were two of my best friends, my girlfriend, and, for a little while, the most amazingly eccentric International President to date (Hazaa for Aaron Jacobs!). They became my family, and even now I don’t think anyone or anything is going to mean more to me than my Wheels friends do.
            In case I haven’t made this clear already, Wheels was the best thing that has ever happened to me, and I wouldn’t trade my experience for anything. I loved Mission Mitzvah, as did everyone on the trip (like our very own Robin Boedecker!). I know this sounds cheesy, but hey, let’s be honest: cheese is delicious.

 

 

My Summer With USY
By Danny Roth

            The end of the school year is always a great time because school is almost out and everyone is eager to have a few months off for summer.  However, this year for me and 400 other USYers around the United States and Canada, the termination of the school year and the onset of summer meant one thing, USY Israel Pilgrimage.  Starting in around April or May the anticipation began to grow.  I had been looking forward to pilgrimage for years, ever since I joined USY and heard people raving about the trip and the friends that they made along the way.  But as the countdown to Pilgrimage started I began to REALLY get excited. 
            And then finally, on June 23rd, the trip began.  I flew with some other members of New Frontier to NY where we then made our way to Spain and then eventually Israel.  We spent approximately a week in Spain, traveling around the gorgeous country and seeing magnificent cathedrals and ancient cities.  It was the beginning of the trip so the 23 of us were still getting to know each other, but as a whole we clicked instantly and were immediately one big, happy family. 
The highlight of the trip (which is known as Spain Israel Pilgrimage) was, of course, Israel.  Most of the kids on the trip had never been there before and it was a great thrill seeing how they reacted to coming to our homeland for the first time.  For anyone reading this who has never been to Israel the only way to understand it is by going there.  I can tell you about the food and the people and the places but unless you’ve had chocolate milk in a bag (yummy), or been on the Lebanese border it is almost impossible to really understand it.
            Even though the trip itself was amazing, what made pilgrimage such a great experience was the people.  Even the most mundane activities, like picking eggplants, or walking through a city are a blast when you are with your friends.  Some of my best memories from the trip aren’t from the western wall or an army base, but instead are doing things like attacking our Israeli staff member (who was carrying a rifle at the time) with tons and tons of grapes.  Anyone who has gone away to camp knows what it is like to share a summer with a group of friends and grow so close to them that it hurts when the summer ends and you have to go home.  Those friendships are what make USY, and especially USY summer trips like pilgrimage, so great.  When one summer can incorporate a trip to Israel and developing life long friendships it is a perfect recipe for the perfect summer.

 

 

 

 

S.I.P
By Anna Meyer

This summer I was able to spend six remarkable weeks in Israel on USY Spain/Israel Pilgrimage group OCHO. The experience was amazing and a great first chance to be able to go to Israel and Spain. From Madrid to Massada to the Dead Sea to Jerusalem; every moment was memorable. This was my first time in Israel so I really didn't know what to expect at all, and to tell you, I was very pleased in what I saw. Going to the Kotel for the first time was a very moving, and life-changing experience. USY Pilgrimage was a great adventure that I wouldn't trade for anything in the world, and I encourage everyone to go next summer and embark upon the summer of his or her life!
