Split From Kehilah

In the first half of 2018, it was decided, after Kehilah BBYO had reached a very large size and not enough Alephs were getting leadership positions, that it was time to split into a Kehilah AZA and a Kehilah BBG. The split officially happened during a meeting at BTBJ on January 16, 2019. At this meeting, Kehilah BBYO #5405 became Hatmadah AZA #1943 and Kochavim BBG #1635.
