Emergency Authorization

 I, the parent or legal guardian, of the applicant state that he/she is in good/normal health, has no physical or mental handicaps that would interfere with full participation in the program, and has my permission to engage in all available activities except as noted under Restrictions or Modifications above.

In case of a medical emergency, accident or health problem where immediate treatment is deemed necessary, every effort will  be made to expeditiously contact the parent(s) or guardian(s) of the participant, or the emergency contact person listed above.  In the event I cannot be reached, I hereby give permission to the physician selected by the Regional USY/Kadima Director, or his/her designee, to hospitalize, secure proper and ongoing treatment and to order injection, anesthesia, or surgery for my child as named above.  I am aware that this form may be photocopied for use by medical caregivers.

Code of Conduct

 

In connection with any Regional program (including dances), including travel to and from such program:

1. There is to be no smoking.
2. There is to be no possession or use of any narcotics, marijuana, other illegal drugs or prescription drugs not prescribed for the user.
3. There will be no possession or consumption of any alcoholic beverages.
4. There will be no shoplifting or any other theft of any kind.

If a USYer is caught in possession of/or using alcohol or illegal drugs, he/she will immediately be sent home at his/her parents’ expense. Furthermore, USY International policy states: “If a USYer is apprehended for an infraction of the International Youth Commission’s policy regarding drug and alcohol abuse or any other criminal offense, including but not limited to shoplifting, punishment for that offense would include suspension from International events (including, but not limited to the International USY Convention and USY summer programs) for one year following the infractions. Individuals will also be prohibited from participating in the next major regional USY program and other events occurring in the interim, and prohibited from chairing events or staffing programs for six months. Individuals already in leadership positions would be removed. A major Regional event is a regionally sponsored overnight event, such as a convention, Kinnus or Encampment. Regions may impose additional sanctions at their discretion.” The Region reserves the right to impose additional sanctions in connection with this or any other improper behavior as it sees fit.

1. All Convention delegates are expected to be in sessions (services, meals, study groups, etc.) No attendees may leave the convention except at those times specified by the convention schedule.  NO USYer may leave the premises without prior approval of the Regional Director and a parent.
2. All males are expected to bring a tallit and tefillin. All males are required to wear a kipah during all services, meals and study groups. Tallit/tefillin must be worn for morning services where appropriate.
3. Each participant is expected to maintain proper decorum and attitude during the entire program.  Disruptive behavior (including, among other things, inappropriate sexual behavior) will not be tolerated. Your parents will be responsible to pay for any damage you may cause.
4. Proper dress is expected of everyone.  All USYers shall wear clothing appropriate to the event/location.
5. All housing/rooming/bunking assignments are final. Changes can only be made by the Regional Director or her designee.  All USYers must be in their assigned house/rooms/bunks at curfew and remain there. Males are not permitted in sleeping rooms of females and females are not allowed in the sleeping rooms of males.
6. Each participant is expected to conduct him/herself appropriately as a Conservative Jew (including through the observance of Shabbat and Kashrut), in accordance with applicable standards of the Law and Standards Committee of the Rabbinical Assembly and/or the local Rabbinical Authority.
7. No USYer shall violate any civil or criminal law, including but not limited to, those related to tampering of or destruction of property, and destruction of one’s own or another person’s physical and/or mental integrity. Inappropriate or unwelcome physical contact or language, indecent attire or public nudity, shall not be permitted.
8. The Region reserves the right to search the room and belongings of any attendee if it has reasonable grounds to believe that such a search is necessary to secure the health, safety and/or welfare of the program and or its participants. USY or Kadima Director, in consultation with the Regional Youth Commission, reserves the right to enforce other rules relating to the integrity of the Regional Youth Program and/or the health, safety or welfare of its participants.
9. Every USYer is responsible of any damage he/she does or damage that occurs in his/her bunk/room or at the synagogue/campsite/hotel.

I have read these rules and understand them fully.  I certify that I will adhere to this Code and will conduct myself in a manner reflecting credit upon myself, my chapter, congregation and community.  Any violation of this code of conduct  may result in the participant being sent home at his/her parents' expense. The Regional Director has the sole discretion to send a participant home.

 

I, the parent/guardian of a minor, who will be participating in USY Regional programs, do hereby certify that I have read the Code of Conduct set forth above.  I do hereby agree that if my child who has signed the above Rules of Conduct fails to adhere to the Code, then in such event those persons in charge of the program may send my child home at my expense. I understand that the Regional Youth Director has the sole discretion to send my child home.  I expressly release and agree to indemnify and hold USY/Kadima (and its Personnel) free and harmless from any and all liability, charges, claims, costs, and expenses of every kind and nature whatsoever, including reasonable attorney fees, in connection with the acceptance and participation of the Minor in the Scheduled Activity. The foregoing Release is without reservation of any kind except only for such acts or omissions on your part that arise out of your intentional or negligent wrongdoing and without fault of any kind on the part of the Minor or on my part in failing to disclose pertinent information to you.
