The purpose of all of our temple youth groups is to provide opportunities for our children to interact with other Jewish kids in a relaxed setting outside of the Religious School classroom.

Junior Youth Groups

The junior youth groups, Kadima (grades 4 - 6) and Noar (grades 7 and 8) continue their trek through the Holy Land in our program ‘Passport to Israel’!

Throughout the year, the kids have a great time while learning more about the land of the Jewish people. As we ‘travel’ around the country having a blast, we integrate subtle lessons about Israel with corresponding activities; a swim party in Netanya, a resort town north of Tel Aviv, ice skating in Metula, near the Lebanon border where there is a world class ice rink and of course, several stops in Jerusalem for the history, religion and shopping!

For more information about our youth groups, contact the Religious School office.
