Shalom chevre, The time is fast approaching for this year's Young Zionist Leadership (YZL) conference. YZL is the Zionist leadership conference for university students in North America. YZL gathers the most active students together in Miami, FL for a weekend of sessions to boost their activism, immerse themselves in Israeli culture, debate key issues, strengthen their overall ties to Zionism, and-of course-have some fun in the sun. As always, we aim to bring the most qualified Zionist activists to participate, so we ask you, to spread the word to your top undegraduate students. This year's conference takes place on January 22nd-24th, 2010 at the Marco Polo Ramada Plaza Beach Resort Hotel. Registration ends December 10. Thanks and see you in Miami!
