Youth Engagement
K - 6th Grade Youth Engagement
Beth Or offers a variety of fun, social programs for our children in Kindergarten through 6th grade!
We provide monthly programs for our elementary school aged students, typically after Judaics on Sunday mornings for K-2nd grade, and during Hebrew school on Sundays for 3rd-6th grade.
Everyone enrolled in Religious School is automatically a member of our youth engagement programs.
Religious School Committee Chair: Joshua Akman, Rachel Silverman and Rena Klein
Youth Committee Parent Chairs: Cari Cantor and Danielle Kline
YOBO (Youth of Beth Or Teen Program)
7th - 12th Grade Youth Engagement
YOBO, our 7th - 12th grade education and engagement program, combines youth group, religious school, social functions and service projects.
Learning + Doing + Friends = YOBO!
What do students do?
Each month we offer:
- Hands-on classes on fun Jewish topics or ideas, or a service project for volunteer hours
- 1-3 core sessions for 10th grade (Confirmation)
When does it meet?
- Sunday evenings from 5pm - 6:45pm
- Sessions are scheduled about three times a month; students attend sessions as they are able to. There is one exception: Madrichim meet on Sunday mornings starting at 9:30am and/or Monday/Tuesday Hebrew school.
YOBO Parent Liaisons: Rachel Steinberg and Allison Levin
Contact Chana Tillman, Assistant Religious School Director, with any questions regarding youth or teen engagement programming.
All 1st - 6th grade students who love to sing and make new friends are welcome to participate in our Junior Choir, led by Cantor Murley.
Rehearsals are on Sunday mornings at 9am before Religious School. The Jr. Choir performs at the first Friday Family Shabbat services from September through June, as well as holiday and other special services during the year. They also have fun social events and put together the Purim Schpiel each year for Purim.
Multigenerational Choir
The Multigenerational Choir is another choir option, under the direction of Cantor Murley, for adults, teens and children who love to sing less formal music. They help lead three services during the year, with two rehearsals (usually on Sunday afternoons) leading up to each service.
