Teen Collab
We are excited to be part of the Westchester Teen Collab, a program that brings together 8th-12th graders from six synagogues in Southern Westchester for learning and fun.
The program is made up of three modules (fall, winter, and spring) and takes place from 6:30-8:00 pm at JCC Mid-Westchester and includes dinner. Each module has multiple tracks, which means you get to pick what you learn! For more information and to register for the Teen Collab, please contact Alyssa Berman (Schwager) or fill out the information form.
BBYO
In partnership with other local synagogues, we sponsor Simcha BBYO, a youth group for Jewish teens. Our program is dedicated to offering teens the opportunity to connect with one another, make a difference in the world, celebrate their Jewish heritage, and travel the world together. Events are planned by teens, for teens, and programming ranges from fun activities like ice skating and camping overnights, to communal Shabbat celebrations and leadership trainings. A parent, advisor, or regional staff member is always on hand to ensure safety and health. More information is available at Hudson Valley Region BBYO.
