| Welcome to the Home of GHCUSY. For those of you who do not know, United Synagogue Youth, or USY, is a national organization for Jewish high schoolers across the country. USY is divided into regions. Our region is METNY, or Metropolitan New York. It includes all of Long Island, the five boroughs, and Westchester, Putnam, Rockland, and Orange counties. Because we live in such a heavily populated Jewish area, our region is further divided into Divisions: Koach (Westchester, Putnam, Rockland, and Orange Counties), Kiryah (The Five Boroughs), Rakevet (Suffolk County), and Chazak (Nassau County). Our division is Koach and it includes Westchester, Rockland, Putnam, Orange, and Riverdale. There are events on the chapter level, divisional level, regional level, and even the International level (part of Canada is included is USY). A chapter is a synagogue affiliated with USY. Our chapter is Greenburgh Hebrew Center (GHC). We hope that over the next year, you come to love and enjoy USY, and embrace your religion and culture. Through this program, you will meet so many new people and make a lot of new friends. Come to an event and see how you like it. If your first event is not very fun, DO NOT QUIT. You should only stop if you go to three DIFFERENT TYPES of events and don't like any. If at first you don't succeed, try, try again, and we at GHC guarantee that there is something for everyone in USY. |
