Youth and Teen Programming 2025/2026

Yamim Yafim (PreK-5th Grade)
Sunday Mornings

Our youngest learners explore Jewish life through stories, song, movement, art, and community celebrations. This year, we’re excited to launch the ShalomLearning Judaica curriculum – a values-based program that helps students engage with Jewish ideas in ways that are meaningful, age-appropriate, and fun, fostering their sense of self and Jewish identity.

Uptown Hebrew (3rd-6th Grade)
Wednesday Afternoons

Focused on Hebrew reading skills and prayer fluency, Uptown Hebrew supports students on their journey toward B’nei Mitzvah and beyond. Cantor Margolius is available to answer questions about Hebrew learning and B’nei Mitzvah preparation.

Yamim Yafim (6th-7th & 8th-9th Grade)
Alternating Wednesday Evenings

Our 6th/7th and 8th/9th grade cohorts  meet every other Wednesday evening over dinner, offering a space for connection, conversation, and meaningful Jewish learning.

  • 6th & 7th Grade: This class supports students as they move through the B’nei Mitzvah journey, focusing on reflection, identity, and finding personal meaning in Jewish ritual and tradition.
  • 8th & 9th Grade: Through hands-on cooking and shared meals, students explore Jewish history and global Jewish cultures—learning how food tells the story of the Jewish people around the world.

Confirmation (10th Grade)
Select Wednesday Evenings & Other Special Events

Confirmation is a milestone year rooted in Jewish philosophy, personal responsibility, and communal leadership. It is the oldest egalitarian Jewish lifecycle event and a key rite of passage for Jewish young adults in our community. The program culminates in a Shabbat Confirmation Ceremony on May 8, 2026.

New!

Jewish Studies Seminar (11th-12th Grade)
Select Wednesday Evenings & Other Special Events

This new course for 11th & 12th graders is a chance to delve deeply into the most important Jewish issues of the day with Touro rabbis and Jewish scholars from local universities and the broader community. Our discussions will support our students as they prepare for Jewish life beyond high school, thinking about what it means to show up in the world, on college campuses and beyond, as a proud, informed, and thoughtful Jewish person.  We will celebrate our Seniors in a Shabbat Service on May 15, 2026.
