Teen Programming

Teens preparing to lobby Congress in Washington, DC, as part of the annual
L'taken Social Justice Seminar at the Religious Action Center for Reform Judaism

All post-B'nei Mitzvah (8th-12th grade) teens are invited to join Temple Sinai's Teen Community - Tichon תיכוֹן!

Teen programs take place approximately once per month, usually on Sunday afternoons, and include a mix of social activities, cultural visits, service/volunteering, and other opportunities for connecting with each other and with the broader Reform Jewish community in Northern New Jersey and beyond!

In previous years, our teens have:

• Enjoyed a food tour of the Lower East Side while exploring the historical neighborhood that housed many immigrant Jewish families when they first came to America in the 19th and 20th centuries;
• Visited area colleges and universities to experience Jewish life on campus;
• Volunteered with Midnight Run to distribute needed food and supplies to New York City residents dealing with homelessness and hunger;
• Helped facilitate holiday programming like the Purim Carnival for Religious School students and families;
• Attended Broadway/Off-Broadway and regional theater productions with Jewish themes;
• Packed hundreds of "snack packs" with the New Jersey Center for Food Action;
• And more!

We also welcome any teen to become part of our Religious School's Madrichim (guides) program, where post-B'nei Mitzvah students act as important role models and classroom support during school hours on Sundays (9:30am-12:30pm) and/or Tuesdays (4:00-6:30pm).
