Youth Groups
Temple Isaiah’s youth group events provide an enjoyable, enriching and safe environment for all participants. They include a wide variety of social and adventure-oriented activities with a Jewish infusion. Our intention is to allow young people to socialize, take responsibility for themselves and each other, and have new experiences within a Jewish peer community that emphasizes social action and ethical decision-making.
Temple Isaiah’s youth groups are built on the principle that every event and activity, should advance a certain set of common Jewish values. Each element of our teen program emphasizes some or all of these core values and complements and builds on other elements in a cohesive and cumulative way. All events and activities lead to our goal of nurturing Jewishly identified people of integrity.
The core values we emphasize include:
- Commitment to Tikkun Olam - social justice and social action
- Creation of Kehillah - a supportive, tolerant, and interdependent thinking community
- Individual responsibility and ethical decision making
- Jewish knowledge and spirituality
- Leadership development and experience
