Youth Groups

Youth group involvement is a way to strengthen our children’s Jewish identity through social, religious, social action, and fundraising activities. The leadership aspects of the program help to develop the Jewish leaders of tomorrow. Our youth groups are directed by a team of professionals who are dedicated to the future of our children and to the future of Judaism. For more information, contact Sharon Israel, Youth Coordinator, at s.israel@judeagables.org
