The Program
Our community’s 7th-12th graders gather on Tuesday nights from 6:00-8:00 PM for dinner, community building activities, and Jewish programming. Our program emphasizes the relationship building and the creation of safe space for our teens to gather, unload, and spend time with familiar faces that care about them.
Our program covers five main topics throughout the year:
- Exploring the Jewish values of tzedakah & chesed (righteous giving & kindness) & sakranut (curiosity)
- Developing of our teens personal Jewish Identity & understanding of the Jewish world’s diversity
- Learning about Israel & Worldwide Jewry
- Discussing modern antisemitism and the Holocaust
- Celebrating holidays together and learning the stories they didn’t tell you in religious school
Our amazing program includes cooking a Jewish dish from Ethiopia, competing for the Tzedakah Cup in a Mario Kart tournament, playing dreidel and lighting our menorahs, marking Yom HaShoah, and exploring the ethical dilemma of the trolley problem through The Good Place & the Talmud.
