Message from Rick Concoff
Chaverim Director

Chaverim, the program for Sonoma County’s Jewish teens, is off to a new and exciting start this year. Nearly 80 teens attended Chaverim’s kickoff event at Camp Newman, which featured swimming, hiking and a great lunch. The Chaverim campout at the Russian River was also wonderful — a lazy afternoon of swimming, an unexpected and exciting thunderstorm, and lots of leisure time! We also had a great Shabbat service, focusing on the meaning of Shema and the Days of Awe.

We are looking forward to our twicemonthly dinner discussions, hosted by Congregations Shomrei Torah and Beth Ami. Bowling, a trip to “Jewish San Francisco” and other events will be offered throughout the year, as well. Thanks to the Jewish Community Federation, and to our new sponsor, the Jewish Community Center of Sonoma County, for your support.
