Nothing is more important to the future of our Temple and our Jewish community than our children. Congregation Beth Israel is committed to providing high-quality and meaningful youth programming for children and family of all ages.
The Youth Activities Committee serves to present the vision of a thriving youth program at our Temple, and also to support our professionals as they implement the program. In early 2009, the committee drafted the following mission statement:
The Youth Committee of Congregation Beth Israel encourages youth and family involvement at all levels of congregational life. We facilitate creative and consistent programs which engage our youth in developing a sense of Jewish identity, building strong relationships, and putting Jewish values into action. We believe that spiritually and socially engaged youth contribute to the greater goal of creating a dynamic and thriving Temple community.
