The outpour of students was amazing at the first Coral Reef JSU club of the year with over 50 teens in attendance. Advisor Rabbi Yossi Klugman explained what the shofar is and why we blow it . Then Martin Berger, a member of Young Israel of Kendall, show them how to blow it professionally. 4 stands set up where teens could try out blowing the shofar and the place sounded rocking.  | |

At the first JSU clubs of the year at Killian & Palmetto, also got a chance to try out blowing shofar after learning about the significance of the shofar and also enjoyed eating apples and honey.
Atlanta JSU  Over 600 teens recently got into the Jewish New Year's spirit at exciting events at 15 JSU clubs across Atlanta. Traditional "dipping the apple into the honey" (for a sweet new year) was taken to a whole new level, with dipped candy apples.
While the events centered around making these delicious delicacies, Rabbi Chaim Neiditch infused the activities with meaning, teaching the teens about the deeper meaning of Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur. The concept of Tshuva (repentance) was discussed, with many teens making New Year's resolutions to try to improve and grow spiritually. All in all, the events signified a very auspicious start to the new academic year for Atlanta's Jewish youth, many of whom would have had no exposure to the importance of the High Holidays if not for the JSU.
