Overview, Registration, and Details for all Teen Opportunities
Eighth Grade Shabbaton November 15-16
8th Graders will have a fun-filled overnight exploring Israel in our new PlayScape, celebrating Shabbat, and building their connections to one another and Adat Shalom. We will begin with a delicious dinner, celebrate Shabbat, do some hands-on activities connected to Israel, hang out in the brand-new Israel Playscape, play a life-size Game of Life: Kibbutz Edition, eat some more snacks, sleep, and get up for a creative and interactive short service and Torah study. We will then join the congregation upstairs in time for Musaf and Kiddush, which is when everyone can go home to sleep for real!
Register here ($75/person; a scholarship IS available)
Wednesday Wisdom with Rabbi Nosanwisch
Wisdom from our ancestors is sorely needed these days. In this weekly discussion, we will bring the text of Pirkei Avot (ethics of our ancestors) alive through lively discussion and study. We will work together to apply our ancestors’ ancient wisdom to our lives and walk away with a stronger sense of who we are as Jewish people.
Wednesdays from 4:15 to 5 pm • Homework space available from 3 pm
$180 per year includes materials and snacks (scholarship available)
Students can apply to be madrichim from 5 to 6:15 pm

High schoolers may opt for volunteer hours, a stipend, or a combination of the two. Space is limited.
