Kiryah

The METNY Region is broken up into four separate divisions: Kiryah, Koach, Chazak, and Rakevet. The Kiryah division spans across all 5 buroughs; Queens, Manhattan, Bronx, Brooklyn, States Island. USY is the high school age affiliate of The United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism. With a membership of over 15,000 Jewish teens from across North America, USY combines the familiarity of a local synagogue with the excitement and adventure that derives from being an international organization. USY offers Jewish teens a wide range of exciting activities. Whether it's a game of basketball on a Sunday afternoon, a holiday carnival for people with mental or physical disabilities, or a six week adventure in Israel or across the US and Canada, USY provides a home away from home filled with friends united by common goals.
