teen & youth progrAms
Temple Beth Hillel-Beth El is a great place to be a kid! Youth programming allows for exciting, fun, and meaningful opportunities for all the youth of our congregation. Our goal is for every child at TBH–BE to feel a part of our synagogue community.
We do not want the cost of any TBH-BE events to deter members from coming. If any of our programs are a financial hardship for your family, please reach out to Hallie Chandler so we can make sure you can join us.
young family programming
Intended for families with children in kindergarten and younger
Young family programming provides social and educational opportunities for families with young children to meet and develop connections and friendships. Past activities have included apple picking at Linvilla Orchards, volunteering at the Jewish Relief Agency (JRA), Shabbat dinners, and pottery painting.
1st-4th graders
Exciting monthly programming for elementary school-aged children allows them to gain independence by attending events without their parents. Events are well supervised with the help of a few parents to ensure the safety of all children. Past activities have included a magic show, minute-to-win-it games, and an under-night; most events are held on Sunday afternoons.
5th-7th graders
The goal of our 5th-7th programming is about building friendships. Past events have included BounceU, rock climbing, candy sushi making, and Top Chef: Cake Edition.
teens | 8th-12th graders
Our teen program, run by Phil Nathanson, has included trips to NYC, haunted houses, Friday night dinners, ice skating at Penn’s Landing, ComedySportz, lounge nights, casino nights, and tikkun olam opportunities. Our teen programming at Temple Beth Hillel - Beth El is affiliated with United Synagogue Youth, therefore allowing teens to participate in regional and national trips, conferences, and programs.
