CRUSY
Tefillin Bank
CRUSY is looking for donations
of Tefillin to be used by USYers at conventions throughout
the year. All CRUSY Conventions include daily morning
and evening davening, but unfortunately, not all
of our USYers are able to bring Tefillin for morning
minyan. Help us educate our youth about Tefillin
and in doing so, further the observance of this important
mitzvah. Your contribution would be greatly appreciated.
Please send your Tefillin to the CRUSY office along
with your name and address so that we can acknowledge
your generous contribution.
Send
a Kid to CRUSY Campaign
It costs a lot to raise a Jewish teenager. Ideally, every teen in our
region should be a member of USY or Kadima and attend every event. Each
year we are faced with rising costs for food, lodging and transportation.
Consequently, the cost of events rises as well. The Send a Kid to CRUSY
Campaign offsets these costs and supports our youth. Through your generosity,
over $12,000 has been raised for SEND A KID TO CRUSY since the fund was
created four years ago. Your contributions help subsidize Shabbat weekends
with ruach, everlasting Jewish memories and making lifetime friends.
Send
a Kid to CRUSY acknowledgments can be sent at your
request for any occasion. For more information,
please contact Arlyne Bochnek at the CRUSY office:
