Global Shabbat in Uganda: Hearing From Three Ugandan Teens About Their Experiences

Kirya, Kamya, and Mateeka share what it was like to experience Global Shabbat in Uganda.

Kirya, Kamya, and Mateeka

The Aleph Zadik Aleph (AZA) and the B’nai B’rith Girls (BBG) are a fraternity and sorority for Jewish teens—together, we are BBYO. Since our founding in 1924 (AZA) and 1944 (BBG), we have been member-led. Our priorities and programs reflect the interests and issues that matter most to us. Our pursuits are as diverse as our participants.

AZA and BBG welcome Jewish teens of all backgrounds, denominations, gender, race, sexual orientations, and socio-economic status as well as those with a range of intellectual, emotional, and physical abilities.
