Beth El’s youth programming includes social, cultural, religious and educational events. Kadima and USY open doors for children to interact with other Jewish young people in an organized and safe environment. These interactions among children happen within our shul, as well as in the larger community and beyond. These relationships and experiences strengthen Jewish ties and encourage active involvement in Jewish life. 

USY is for high school youth grades 9 to 12.  Watch our video and learn more.

KADIMA is for youth grades 6 to 8.
