Our youth group is about building relationships and making connections through social programming and leadership opportunities. Kids/Teens build lasting friendships, meaningful memories and lifetime connections to Tikkun Olam, community and Judaism.
Our high school students are members of BeSTY (Bet Shalom Temple Youth), which is affiliated with our international Reform Youth Movement called North American Federation of Temple Youth (NFTY). NFTY hosts quarterly retreats called kallot and many of our students are encouraged to attend the Olin-Sang-Ruby Union Institute Camp (OSRUI), our movement’s summer camp in Oconomowoc, WI where Rabbis Locketz, Crimmings serve as faculty members during the summer.
