JTAC (Jewish Teen Alliance of Chicago) is a board made up of teen leaders representing different Jewish programs in the Chicago community. We asked them to share stories that reflect their Jewish involvement. Over the next few months we will be featuring their stories on the Springboard blog, Instagram and Facebook. If you want to learn more about the experiences they share, email Springboard@juf.org or send us a message.

Today we are featuring a video by Josh Glucksman highlighting the NFTY Chicago Area Region Winter Kallah at Oak Park Temple. Josh and Sarah Cohen, NFTY CAR President, share how they, along with teens from across Chicago, spent the weekend learning about restorative justice, exploring the intersection of food justice and food deserts, hanging at the arcade, celebrating Tu Bisvhat and Shabbat, and making great new friendships!
