TUSY is our High School (9th-12th Grade) Youth Group.  TUSY has a strong presence in our Temple Community as they are not only the tutors and aides of our Religious School, but also our High Holiday Torah Readers, Megillah Readers and volunteers at many Temple events.  TUSY members have the opportunity to take advantage of 3 Regional Conventions (Kinnus, Winter Shabbaton and Spring Kallah) and one Temple of Aaron Convention (CMT).  TUSY is a branch of EMTZA, the Midwest region of USY.                                                                           

  

 

 

    

 

 

 

 

Kadima, meaning "Forward!" in Hebrew is our 7th and 8th Grade Youth Group.  They have monthly activities on either Saturday Night or Sunday Afternoon. Kadima members  make monthly trips to Shalom Home during our Religious School Program.  Like TUSY Members, Kadima members also are tutors in our Religious School and Torah readers for Shabbat and Holidays.  Kadima members have the opportunity to attend Kadima Kinnus in March,a stepping stone to becoming a member of USY. 

 

 

B'resheet, translated as "In The Beginning" is our 5th and 6th Grade Youth Group is the launching point for all Synagogue Youth Programming.  Just as B'resheet is the first book of the Torah it is also the first book of USY for many of these kids.  The kids are introduced to monthly programming and have their first sleep-away Shabbaton in October.  6th Graders also have the opportunity to attend a St. Paul wide Shabbaton in May. 

  

  

 

 

 

Chaverim, translated as "friends" is our 3rd and 4th Grade Youth Group.  Chaverim is a taste of USY.  The kids have one activity with B'resheet and one Shabbaton at the Temple.  This is a great way to get ready for B'resheet!
