USY Debate with Jason Kay (for 8th-12th graders)
Time for things to get heated! Ever since Jews received the Torah, there has been debate. The issues have changed, but we have always argued, disagreed, and debated. Teens are invited to join together with Jason Kay for some great food and fun debate about current topics.
