WHAT IS THIS HANEGEV THING ANYWAYS?!?!

Hanegev is the Southeast region of United Synagogue Youth, the high school age arm of the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism. To see a map of all the regions, click here! Hanegev consists of the following states:

-Alabama

-Georgia

-North Carolina

-South Carolina

-Tennessee

-Florida

-Mississippi

Three sub-regions make up Hanegev. They are:

-Arvot (South Florida)

-Mercaz (Central and North Florida)

-Ein Gedi (the rest of the region)

Each sub-region meets twice a year, in the fall and in the spring. The region also meets several times a year, at International Convention, Yom Theme Park, and Regional Convention.

The goal of Hanegev is to provide a comfortable social and educational environment for Jewish teens in the southeast.
