NFTY-STR Spring Kallah

March 15–17, 2013
Hosted by Temple Beth Am and BAFTY

What is NFTY-STR Spring Kallah?

Spring Kallah is the culminating convention and highlight of the year for 9th–12th graders in the North American Federation of Temple Youth-Southern Tropical Region (NFTY-STR).

NFTY-STR has been creating positive Jewish experiences and memories for Reform Jewish teenagers for over 60 years. 

Temple Beth Am has accepted the responsibility of hosting Spring Kallah and creating a meaningful weekend of spiritual experiences, informal educational Judaic programming and social experiences. We anticipate over 300 9th–2th graders from around the state of Florida will become a part of our congregation during the weekend of March 15–17, 2013.

How do teens sign up for this awesome weekend?

•  You must be in 8th–12th grade and a member of B4BAFTY and BAFTY to participate at Spring Kallah.
•  Registration for the event will open in February 2013.
