Hallel Yadin -President 

 Hey y’all! I’m Hallel. I’m a senior at East Brunswick High School and I am thrilled to be serving as president for the 2014-2015 year. I’ve been on NSBUSY board as Israel Awareness VP in 2012-2013 and communications VP in 2013-2014. I was also involved in USY internationally when I went on Poland/Israel Pilgrimage in 2013 (and I highly recommend it. usy.org/escape). Outside of USY, I’m a member of NHS, and I’m co-editor of Folio, the arts and literary magazine of East Brunswick High School. I’ve also been a violist in school orchestra since 4th grade. I love mockumentary sitcoms, Thai food, and gel pens. USY has given me so much, and I am so happy that I have had so many chances to give back. Let’s make this year as סבבה as it can possibly be.

Evie Cukor-Communications VP 

Hey! My name is Evie and am super excited to be the 2014-2015 communication officer! Kadima and USY have always been a huge part of my life and something that I enjoy immensely. Being on board means I am part of the group I love and I am able to help make NSBUSY the amazing community it is. Something I also enjoy doing is cheerleading. This sport is very competitive and takes up most of my time but it is still something I love to do! I am a sophomore and I'm on the JV team at East Brunswick High School. I also love to sing, dance, and act! I always love to be with my friends and family. I know that in the USY community, friends will never be far! I can't wait to help make this agreat year at NSBUSY!

Hello, I'm David Juro! I am a sophomore at South Brunswick High School, and this is my second year in USY. I held the position of Freshmen Representative last year, and I'm very excited to be one of this year's co-Religious Education officers!
