Youth Group
Youth Group
Congregation Ner Shalom's youth group helps foster a strong Jewish identity among our youth. Our youth group members have fun while making lasting friendships within our temple, as well as throughout the community. They develop a social awareness as they participate in temple and regional events and activities. The programs blend social, religious, cultural, and social action events led by the members and adviser. We emphasize social action, helping the needy, and tikkun olam — making the world a better place for everyone. Events are held monthly and planned by our youth group members and youth adviser. All youth that are B'nai Mitzvah through twelfth grade are encouraged to join in youth group events. For more information, contact our youth group director.

Sunday, Jun 22nd 1:00p to 2:00p
This is a course for Jewish people over 18 who wish to have a B' Mitzvah service and celebration. Whether you converted to Judaism, weren't raised in a shul, were raised in a shul that didn't allow your gender to have such a service, or even if you had one at 13 and are ready for a do-over, you are welcome in this class. You will learn or relearn some staples of Jewish liturgy, Torah, hone D'var Torah writing and service-leading skills, and generally have a space to ask whatever questions about Judaism you have felt haven't been answered adequately for you up to this point (I can't promise to have a more adequate answer, but let's talk about it!). We will collectively discuss dates and services for class members to lead and celebrate their becoming a Bar/Bat/MiBeit Mitzvah. Classes will meet in person. If you are interested and cannot attend a class, please let Rabbi Lizz know. -
