Congregation Beth Israel prides itself on creating a dynamic and meaningful Youth Culture. Thanks to our children, parents, and staff, we have a wide range of groups and activities for every age and interest, from social to religious, to cultural, athletic, community service and summer internships, to name a few. Many activities are geared for the entire family to get involved. Each is designed to provide opportunities for our youth to meet, make close friendships, and interact in a positive Jewish environment.
