TEEN LIFE + PROGRAMS

TEACHING ASSISTANT PROGRAM | GRADES 8-12

This program is a special part of our Religious School. Our dedicated TAs assist in our Sunday, Monday, and/ or Wednesday school sessions, either for salary or community service credit. It is always a pleasure to watch both our teens and students thrive from this wonderful collaboration. 

TIKKUN OLAM PROGRAM (TK) | GRADES 8-12

Wednesdays, 6:00 - 7:30 pm
Pizza, discussion and a chance to make a difference in the world. This program combines social action and socializing. We take part in tzedakah activities at the Temple Purim Carnival and Tzedakah Day, and all look forward to our annual Shul-in. A wonderful way to stay connected to TBS life, and connect with a greater community.

NORTH AMERICAN FEDERATION OF TEMPLE YOUTH (NFTY)

Through the Union for Reform Judaism, our BESHTY (Beth Shalom Temple Youth) group includes our Tikkun Olam participants and all teens in our congregation. Our teens are welcome to join in NFTY events throughout the year.
