 Recruitment Events
 

Cinderella Fifty middle school girls from Akiba Schecher, Arie Crown, Hillel Torah, and Bais Yaakov joined ICJA for last Sunday's recruitment event. The program began with a luncheon at Kirshner's, which included speakers, Mrs. Elyse Litwack, our girls' mechanechet, and Mrs. Debra Korman, director of Shalva. The group then went to see Cinderella performed by the Chicago Women Charity Players.

This coming Sunday is a boys' recruitment program, "A Day Out with the Guys," including lunch at Ken's Diner, a performance by the Chicago Boyz Acrobatic Team and a program on making tzitzit.
