About JUF Tweens

The JUF Tween Page is the place for you to chill out, learn about volunteer opportunities, read about what your friends are doing for their bar and bat mitzvahs, check out the buzz on the hottest Jewish celebrities, learn how to make yummy holiday snacks, find out about cool Jewish movies, take a virtual-reality tour of Israel, and play some games that can introduce you to some Jewish sports heroes... and even yourself!

Is "green" a Jewish color? You bet! Find out more about Jewish ways to help the environment. And if you are a real Mitzvah Maniac, you can join TOV for this season's Mitzvah Mania!

And this summer, you can go to camp while making a difference by joining Camp TOV! Read about it... then sign up for it!

Video Contest: Share Your Mitzvah Project!

This great organization called Areyvut (say: ar-ay-VOOT) is having a contest-- make a video about your bar- or bat-mitzvah tikkun olam project, send it in, and (maybe) win awesome high-tech prizes like an iPod! It needs to be 2-7 minutes long and explain your project and why you are doing it. Find out more about Aveyvut and the rules of the contest here. Then grab a video camera-- or some gizmo that has a video camera built in-- and shoot for the (Jewish) stars!

We've Got Mail!

Yes! Our Celebrity Corner got its first piece of fan mail! From one of the Celebrities themselves!! We're so excited, we're going to use up all our exclamation points!!! Here's the letter!!!!

Dear JUF,

My name is Halley Feiffer -- I'm an actress who is featured on your Jewish Celebrity list in the Tween section of your website. I just wanted to thank you for this nice mention about me and my father, Jules Feiffer. I just stumbled upon it and find it really delightful. What a great website.

Best,

Halley
