YOUTH DEPARTMENT

Jewish communal life is as significant for our youth as it is for our adults. In our world today, with increasing pressures and competitiveness, our youth need a safe space to call home, to ask questions, seek thoughtful answers, explore their spirituality and growth and socialize in meaningful ways.

We are committed to United Synagogue Youth, the Conservative movement’s national youth organization, its Regional and Sub-regional activities, our award-winning local youth groups, Camp Ramah Darom, and more. We offer youth groups for all ages, under the supervision of our Youth Director and Advisors.

Chalutzim (Pioneers) - Our youth group for children in Kindergarten through 2nd grade. Chalutzim meets once a month with the goal of creating and fostering Jewish friendships. Join the Chalutzim Facebook page. Chalutzim Events - Click here

International, Regional, and Sub-Regional Kadima & USY - We are part of a much, much larger organization! International Kadima & USY, as well as Region (HaNegev), and Sub-Region (Ein Gedi) offer amazing programs to introduce Jewish 6th - 12th graders to each other during exciting and engaging new programs. Don't forget to follow International USY on Facebook and Instagram, HaNegev on Facebook and Instagram, and Ein Gedi on Facebook on Instagram!

Officers Brunson, Duling, and Quan were honored by  our youth in recalling the tragedy of September 11. Even more importantly, to remember and to honor those among us who are our local hero's. Jewish National Fund provided the gifts which have a photo of the 9/11 monument in Israel, which is the only one of it’s kind outside of the United States and lists all of those who perished on that tragic day.
