The newly elected JHS Student Government had the privilege of meeting with NY Assemblymember Sam Berger on Monday. Students had the chance to ask Mr. Berger, who represents YCQ’s district, questions about his journey into politics and what it’s like to be a Jewish representative in Albany.
He praised the students for seizing the opportunity to make a difference in their community. He concluded with words of inspiration, urging them to be like Nachshon ben Aminadav, who had courage and faith to “take the plunge,” into the unknown.
Thank you to Assemblymember Berger for taking the time out of his busy schedule to inspire the future leaders of the Jewish people!
