Whatever NOLA needs…

The New Jersey branch of NCSY, the international youth movement of the Orthodox Union, is sending two delegations of teens from public high schools and area yeshivot to New Orleans, La. (NOLA), later this month. The groups will help with ongoing rebuilding efforts left following the devastating Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

The largest all-girls delegation yet — 17 students from Fair Lawn and Teaneck high schools, and Ma’ayanot Yeshiva High School for Girls in Teaneck — will be in NOLA from Feb. 8 to 12. A second delegation of boys and girls from Rae Kushner Yeshiva High School of Livingston will be there from Feb. 22 to 27. Students from The Frisch School in Paramus are planning missions in March to Alabama and/or to Joplin, Mo.
