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).

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.
The 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.
Another Choir option is the Beth Or Multigenerational Choir, under the direction of Cantor Murley. This choir is 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.
