Youth
Teen Group
Together we will participate in fun and meaningful activities throughout the year.
All of the programs have been chosen by the City Shul teens and include social programs, Jewish learning and Shabbat experiences, and holiday celebrations.
You can join just the programs or also be a part of the leadership team who plans the programs.
We have also been exploring other activities that offer opportunities for fun, friendship, leadership and Gimilut Chassadim (acts of love and kindness).

City Shul Food Bank Drive - update
City Shul raised over four times the amount from the previous year, totaling 1025 pounds, which is a remarkable achievement! It’s heartwarming to see such an outpouring of support and generosity within the community. We would also like to thank the congregation when they stepped up to help us deliver on our pledge to Ve'ahavta to make 100 bags of energy balls. While we went instead to support our Shinshinim at the UJA round table on Israel, we greatly appreciate every family's contribution, and we delivered 150 bags!

It also provided a wonderful opportunity for teens to connect and form meaningful friendships by bringing people together from various backgrounds and interests. This event facilitated valuable interactions, allowing attendees to build connections that will last a lifetime. It truly emphasized the importance of community and social engagement, making it a standout experience for everyone involved." Mahta, City Shul Shabbaton participant
