Central Synagogue provides a safe and vibrant Jewish space for teens in which they can grow spiritually, socially, and intellectually. We equip them with tools to answer the difficult questions as they navigate through a complex and diverse world. They will be encouraged to explore challenging questions about God, Torah, Israel and the world around them. Central Synagogue will be an anchor in their sometimes tumultuous lives.
Central Synagogue will serve our youth by offering a range of options that suit our students’ needs, from regular weekly evening sessions to varied weekend events and study trips. In addition, we aim to motivate and encourage teen initiative so that teens become a part of the planning process for themselves and their peers.
This year we are starting a brand new program, yet another way for students to stay engaged in Jewish life. Students in grades 7-12 are welcome to get involved in our Religious School classrooms as Madrichim (assistant teachers). Students will earn community service credit as well as receive valuable leadership training as they take their place as role models for our younger members. There will be 3 educational workshops throughout the month of October and early November – after which the students will be placed in a classroom.
