Jewish Heritage:
Judaism is the common bond between every girl in BBG. Programming is an integral method to help girls understand and appreciate Judaism. 
Judaic programming can center around traditions, prayers, culture (song/dance/food), Israel, values and Judaism in pop culture. 

Community Service:
This fold emphasizes and stresses the Judaic tradition of tikkun olam, meaning “the repairing of the world” in Hebrew. Community service programming can be direct or indirect. Direct community service, for example, can be volunteering for an organization, and indirect community service could be raising money for a specific cause.

Social Action:
This fold focuses on educating BBGs on what’s happening in the world around us, and various challenges facing the global community. Not only does this fold focus on education, but it also focuses on taking action. Programming includes signing petitions, writing letters, distributing pamphlets, and anything that vocalizes the issue. This fold helps BBGs bring a positive change to their communities and make a difference in our world.
Recreation:

Creativity:
This fold focuses on expressing yourselves and your opinions in new, interesting and relevant ways in order to make a greater impact. Basically, it focuses on expressing yourself in your own unique way. Programming under the creativity fold ranges from the arts to cooking to acting/improv games, etc. It can be anything you are passionate about.
Sisterhood:
Sisterhood is not just a fold; it is the essence of BBG. Sisterhood teaches us about the role of women as well as how we can support each other as sisters. Sisterhood programs build enthusiasm and dedication for BBG. The programs focus on bringing us closer together, as well as addressing the issues that each of us, as young Jewish women, face (feminism, relationships, etc.).
