Children may join our
youth choir or Klezmer Band. The choir and band, under the
direction of our cantor and music teacher, participate in family
programs and services. Bar/Bat Mitzvah Bar/Bat Mitzvah preparation includes Hebrew instruction in
cooperation with the Bureau of Jewish Education or the Hasten Hebrew
Academy. Synagogue sponsored family seminars, classes in trope
(cantillation) and special tzedakah community service projects
enrich the bar/bat mitzvah experience. Students are encouraged to
use the skills they have learned by continued participation in
services following Bar/Bat Mitzvah. Confirmation/High School Seminars Our Confirmation (tenth grade) students participate in a trip
to New York, emphasizing Jewish places of interest. High School
Seminar (grades 11 and 12), taught by the Rabbis, offers
post-confirmands an informal setting to explore their Jewish
identity and learning. A trip to Washington, D.C. and the Holocaust
museum is a featured part of the High School Seminar
experience. College Students The
congregation maintains contact with college students through regular
Besamim bulletin mailings, e-mail and

university campuses. U.S.Y. – United Synagogue Youth Our U.S.Y., comprised of young people in grades 9 through 12,
