members. BNTYsr registration is closed for the 2009-2010 school year.
Registration for the 2010-2011 school year begins June 1, 2010.

with NFTY (North American Federation of Temple Youth), BNTY members are able to
participate in all NFTY events which include weekend kallot, Social Justice
Day, and NFTY Biennial.
