Six of Temple’s Jewish Heritage Program interns are joining with interns from five other schools Friday morning for a retreat.
The retreat will begin with a mentoring event at Liberty Plaza in Center City. Temple’s interns will team up with those from the University of Pennsylvania, University of Pittsburgh, New York University, SUNY Binghamton, and the University of Delaware at this 156 person event, where each university is responsible for leading the other five in an activity. Temple and University of Delaware interns will lead Jewish Geography, a trivia game using Jewish-related questions about the fifty states.
At Liberty Plaza, the interns will have the opportunity to meet with various Jewish professionals. After this they head to the Sheridan Hotel, where the rest of their activities will be hosted. Among those activities are Shabbat dinner, Human Bingo, a Campus Connections discussion on JHP programming, an improvisation group, aushi making, and the retreat’s conclusion with a Havdalah ceremony.
