You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''<nowiki>BBYO UK & Ireland</nowiki>''' is a part of [[BBYO]], a peer-led, Zionist youth movement. It is open to [[Jew]]ish youth between the ages of 13 and 18 who want to take part in its activities. The members form local chapters, of which 3 are situated in the United Kingdom and Ireland, formerly BBYO District 15. The members are encouraged to play an active role in both the Jewish and general community. Globally BBYO reaches over 80,000 Jewish teens.<ref>http://www.bbyo.org.uk/ BBYO UK & Ireland</ref><ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20090426181437/http://www.jfind.co.uk/articles/BBYO.aspx JFind.co.uk (Archived link)</ref> However, as of Veida 2023, BBYO UK & BBYO Ireland have split into two distinct regions.

==History==
((Further|BBYO#History))((More citations needed|date=April 2021))
In 1923, a group of Jewish boys in Omaha, Nebraska organised their own fraternity after they had been refused entry to local fraternities that often excluded Jews. After a few months, a second chapter was founded in Kansas City. Thanks to the vision of adviser Sam Beber, who dreamt of a global Jewish movement, on May 3, 1924,<ref>[https://bbyo.org/about-us/history/history-narrative "About Us: Narrative History"], BBYO.org</ref> a meeting took place and the Grand Order of the [[Aleph Zadik Aleph]] was born. The organisation rapidly began to grow and by April 1925 there were 7 chapters. Sam Beber approached the B'nai B'rith National Convention for support and AZA was adopted as B'nai B'rith primary youth programme. At the same time, small sororities began to spring up across North America, some using the B'nai B'rith Girls name. It was not until 1944 that, under the leadership of Anita Perlman, BBG was officially established as an international Order, and recognised by B'nai B'rith. The B'nai B'rith Youth Organisation was officially born.

In March 1940, Louis E Wigoder, an American living in Leeds founded Pioneer AZA #481. BBYO's first chapter in the United Kingdom. In June 1940, a similar story unfolded in Ireland, as an AZA chapter was founded in Dublin by American M. Gordon. In October 1943, Centenary AZA was established in Birmingham thanks to the hard work of American soldier Private William Katz and by 1944, further AZA chapters had been established in London. 1944 was also an important year for BBG as its first chapters opened in Leeds and Birmingham. By 1949, more chapters had been founded. BBYO was now big enough in the UK and Ireland to hold its first ever National Convention, in Hull. Hans Blanc was elected to lead the first National Executive, as the first National President, of BBYO District 15. BBYO District 15 continued to grow from strength to strength and sent its first members to AZA and BBG International Conventions, in 1955 and 1956 respectively. By 1966, the AZA and BBG chapters had become joint BBYO chapters and BBYO District 15 had grown enough to need an office and its first ever member of staff. Janet Ross worked as BBYO's first National Director from Hillel House in London. In 1973, members from London, Hull, Manchester, Coventry and Nottingham chapters took part in BBYO's first ever Israel tour. In 1981, Steven Kron from Dublin, became the first BBYO member from the UK & Ireland to hold a position on the International Board, as the Grand Aleph Shaliach. In the 1990s, BBYO began to become more independent from B'nai B'rith. In 1997, BBYO officially became a Zionist movement, passing a motion at National Convention, and the ideologies took the format that we know today. In 2002, BBYO in North America became independent from B'nai B'rith and reformed as BBYO, Inc. Over the course of the next decade, BBYO District 15 became known as BBYO UK & Ireland, in line with BBYO across the rest of the world. 2002 also saw the first summer camp take place in the UK and in 2003, it was given the Hebrew name Shorashim, meaning 'roots'. In 2008, after over 40 years at Hillel House BBYO moved into its own office in Hendon. In 2014, BBYO UK & Ireland signed a historic partnership agreement with BBYO Inc formalising our partnership and cementing our place as part of the global BBYO family.

== Operation ==

The whole district of UK & Ireland is led by the National Executive (team of six) which is elected by the members at an annual event called National Veida. The National Executive is made up of people usually aged 15–17. The National Executive supports the chapters as well as runs national events for the members.

BBYO UKI also has a Executive Director, a Head of Programmes, and a Programme Coordinator who make up the professional team to support the National Exec. BBYO "elders" (''bogrim'') make up the Youth Commission and they support the chapters and the National Exec in an advisory role.

BBYO runs a number of events national events through the year.<ref>[http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=45551922088&ref=ts The Official BBYO Group for UK and Ireland] Facebook</ref> A national event means that it is open to all chapters.

==Chapters==

The chapters typically hold their meetings every Sunday in the evening. The chapters have their own individual identity; the activities and programmes vary between chapters.

The four active chapters in the United Kingdom and Ireland are (as of 2020): [[Borehamwood]] (''Kehilah''), [[Edgware]] (''Deganya''), [[JW3]], [[North London]] (''Mercaz''), [[Manchester]] (Weizmann), Glasgow (Nessi), and [[Dublin]].

The following chapters are inactive: [[Chipping Barnet|Barnet]] (''Masada'', inactive in 2017), [[Birmingham]], [[Bournemouth]], [[Bushey]] (''Sababa'', inactive in 2018, formerly located in and called [[Pinner]]), [[Nottingham]] (''Yoni'', inactive in 2017), and [[Watford]] (''Gesher, inactive in 2022).''

==Executive Board Positions==

In the UK and Ireland each chapter has up to six executive board members. These are the members that are in charge of running the programmes and looking after all the other members in that chapter. As BBYO is peer-led the executive positions are taken up by the older members of the group, usually aged between 15 and 17. There is also a national executive board that is in charge of all the different executive positions e.g. the national president is in charge of all the presidents of the different chapters. The next national executive board is voted in half way through the current national executive's terms. As of September 2020, only president, vice-president and programmer are offered to Mercaz and Watford. There are six positions with different roles and jobs to do,<ref>((cite web|title=National Executive Election Pack|url=http://media.wix.com/ugd/a73247_45fcde0d2cb94f568b103f1a829f3c7c.pdf|publisher=BBYO UK & Ireland|access-date=27 January 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170127102956/http://media.wix.com/ugd/a73247_45fcde0d2cb94f568b103f1a829f3c7c.pdf|archive-date=27 January 2017|pages=5–6))</ref> as follows:
