At Temple Emanu-El we strongly encourage participation in our youth programming as a supplement to the religious school program. Youth group provides an outstanding opportunity to create a sense of friendship and camaraderie that is one of many pathways to a strong Jewish identity. Our goal is create a culture of involvement in youth programming and leadership as part of the lived experience of each one of our young children and teens. We are committed to providing a safe, intimidation free, and fun environment for our participants.
