Our Youth Engagement programs provides opportunities and experiences for children in Kindergarten through 12th grades. Through youth groups, social action projects and social events we continue to help our youth find ways to spend quality time with their Jewish peers. Youth group events will be held at our Main Campus and at the Beck Family Campus. Transportation will be provided between the two campuses.

Club Chai – 7th and 8th Grade

Club Chai offers a place where youth from throughout our community can gather in a social setting for fun, learning and leadership opportunities. Students will gain a greater appreciation of Judaism by making lasting friendships and gaining skills that will enable them to become more effective leaders. Meeting monthly offers a taste of how Judaism fits into their everyday lives. All Club Chai events are offered at a discounted rate, with membership helping to offset the cost of Orlando overnights and daily trips. Events range from in-temple movie night to weekend theme park outings. We hope that you will encourage your teen to join and take part in the exciting events Club Chai has to offer. In addition to events, Club Chai will have monthly Tuesday night dinners before Derech Torah class from 6:00 - 7:00 PM.
