We’re always proud of the teens who choose to use their voices, share their perspectives, and shape our Movement’s story through The Shofar, AZA & BBG’s international newsletter. From thought-provoking articles to creative storytelling and community reporting, our teen writers are not only documenting what’s happening across the Order, they’re leading the conversation. Their passion, insight, and leadership shine through in every article. We encourage you to explore The Shofar and support the next generation of storytellers: azabbg.bbyo.org/the-shofar.
