Young Adult Division Bubbe and Zayde Would Be Proud Last fall, I wrote about the lessons of our grandparents’ generation and the enormous shoes young adults have to fill. Today I am happy to report that Bubbe and Zayde would indeed be proud of the giant steps in outreach, engagement and fundraising made by YAD this year. Hundreds of new faces joined in handson service, mingled at happy hours, taught children tzedakah, learned leadership skills and danced the night away to the sights and sounds of the 1980’s. And, while the brilliant smiles you see on the surrounding pages are evidence of the fun we had, YAD’s campaign also increased, achieving its highest total in many years. The shoes are still big and there is still much filling to do. However, at least tonight, our community might sleep a little easier knowing that young adults in South Palm Beach County are truly stepping up to give it their best try. PREPARING TO LEAD YAD’s Leadership Education and Development Series continued to ready both first and second year classes to step up to community leadership. Sessions were led by Federation lay leaders, agency professionals and experts in the field of leadership development. In addition to building personal and professional networks and leadership skills, the LEADS participants were given an in-depth look at how Federation addresses the essential needs of the Jewish community— locally, in Israel and around the world. Young Adults Honor Earth Day with Beach Cleanup Energized YAD participants spent Sunday morning, April 21 at South Inlet Park in Boca Raton. But there were no paddle boards, blankets, lounge chairs or leisure involved. Instead, these young Jewish adults concerned with the environment honored Earth Day by collecting eight big barrels of trash from the picnic area, dunes and beach. A park ranger provided supplies and direction, and away they went. Singles and couples, familiar faces and newcomers enjoyed their morning - and look forward to other opportunities to roll up their sleeves, do good and get to know each other better. The Earth Day Beach Cleanup was chaired by Emily Einhorn. B’ Shalom, Bryan Drowos Chair, Young Adult Division (YAD) Keep up with upcoming YAD events.

Young Adult Division Playdate with a Purpose and a Parachute: Israeli Dancing HIGHLIGHTS YAD EVENT It definitely wasn’t the same old playdate when enthusiastic, energetic young participants headed to the Weisman Delray Community Center of Ruth Rales Jewish Family Service. And it wasn’t the usual Israeli dancing as leader May Nu incorporated a parachute, rings and more for the younger set. Seniors at the Center joined in to watch, play and dance as well, for an amazing intergenerational afternoon with new friends and old. Chaired by Erika Lewin-Harris, Playdates with a Purpose is a Federation YAD series designed for parents and caregivers with children ages two to eight. Passover Comes to Bloomies: Delicious Date Night for Young Couples Young couples headed to Bloomingdale’s in Town Center for Date Night on March 14 for a Passover cooking demonstration. Celebrity Chef Michael Saperstein provided some tasty updates on traditional favorites. The wonderful evening was chaired by Nicole & Matthew Kaplan. 27 CHAILIFE
