Our Youth Group Philosophy and Goals
Anshe Emeth Memorial Temple is committed to serving Jewish youth. We offer a number of programs through the youth group, each planned with these goals in mind…
- Building Jewish pride in our youth – We hope to give children a Jewish heart and head, that is a feeling of pride in being Jewish with the knowledge with which to actively participate in the Jewish community.
- Helping children to feel accepted and valued – The youth group creates a warm, fun, meaningful, and accepting place for all children. We provide a forum for Children and Teens to discuss today’s challenging issues. With all the issues adolescents face, we provide a nurturing forum for young people to talk about critical concerns and learn from Jewish insights.
- Forging a life-long connection to the Jewish community – We believe that empowering children to participate in the synagogue will help them learn to cherish involvement in Judaism throughout their lives.
- Reaching every child – It is our responsibility to maintain a relationship with each child in the synagogue so that they know Anshe Emeth Memorial Temple is a place where they are always welcome.
If you have any questions about our programs, please contact Rabbi Lotenberg.
