Dear USYers,Letter From The EditorShalhevetWhile reading so many of our members’ submissions, memories came flooding back of wonderfultimes spent in USY. Each of your stories and artwork have helped me recall the special eventsthat took place in my region and while I was on Wheels and Pilgrimage. Being in USY can completelychange the way you think, the way you practice being Jewish, the way you live your life. Your beautifulcontributions reflect who you are and I hope that in reading this issue of Shalhevet you too rememberall the good times, so that what you have experienced can stay with you forever.Shalhevet would not be if it was not for the contributions of your fellow USYers. Thank you foryour amazing work and creativity; because of you, this year’s Shalhevet is the largest edition ever!Many thanks to Hirsch Fishman and Rob Spiro for their hard work and for assisting me in puttingtogether this unique magazine. To the next Editor, if you are passionate about this magazine, I promisethat you will make it something to be proud of. I know I am. And lastly, thank you to the ExecutiveBoard for electing me as your Jewish Culture Chair; I will be forever grateful. As of January, I will nolonger hold this position, but there will be someone elected in the coming month. If you would like tosubmit something to Shalhevet for next year’s edition be sure to contact the 2002 Jewish CultureChair.Perhaps you know of a USYer who wasn’t able to come to International Convention but wouldlike a copy of this magazine.
