YOUTH COMMUNITY CALENDAR

INFORMAL JEWISH EDUCATION

Youth Community

TIC youth programs are open to all TIC youth, regardless of
where they receive their Jewish education.

In our youth programs children and teens benefit from the principles of informal Jewish education by:

Engaging in social, religious, educational, and community service activities.
Building a strong Jewish identity.
Participating in a community of shared values and goals.
Forming friendships and having fun in our Jewish community.

What Parents and Children Say About Youth Programs:

“She came home saying that she learned, contributed, and enjoyed the delicious Chinese food!”
“The Kadimah Board is a fantastic way for her to get to know everyone better and get better connected to the community.”
“My son really enjoyed working at the Purim Carnival. He had fun with his friends, but also enjoyed helping. I am so glad he could help."
"It showed me the kind of stamina and dedication my kids can have and I am still walking on clouds this morning from seeing them both perform."
