Temple Beth Torah Hosts youth groups from fourth grade through high school. United Synagogue Youth (USY grades 9-12), Kadima (grades 6-8), and pre-Kadima (grades 4-5), provide participants the ability to socialize with their Jewish peers in the Conservative Movement both within our Temple community as well as throughout the country.

Youth Activities

 

At the Chapter level we have the following:

  • Monthly meetings in the past have included events such as:
    • Game night
    • Make your own Sukkah

  • USY and Kadima organize the Purim Carnival as their main Tzedakah fundraiser

 

  • USY Members:
