Baltimore, Maryland, was clearly the place to be these past few days. For not only did 2400 Jewish teens convene for BBYO’s annual International Convention (IC), but hundreds of their friends, funders and partners, came together for the Summit on Jewish Teens, held to coincide with the IC program. It’s only the 2nd year, but the Summit has become THE place for the movers and shakers of the American Jewish organizational world to network, shmooze and, of course, learn together.

Here’s our first look at the doings in Baltimore (all photos are pre-Shabbat).
