Teens

Whether it’s current events or just teen issues, we want to create a safe, confidential space for our teens to talk about what’s happening in their lives. Teen Group will be held on the second or third Sunday of every month from 5-7pm and will include dinner.

Teens are teaching assistants at Limudim, our religious school program. There are three ways teens can be involved in our hadrakha program; as a classroom teaching assistant, as a one-on-one for kids with unique needs, or with a specific activity such as snack/hafsaka. Limudim meets on Saturday mornings and Tuesday afternoons, and teens can work both days or just one. This is a great opportunity for teens who want to grow leadership skills, like working with kids, and get the experience of their first (or one of their first) jobs. Teens will also participate in 5 leadership trainings throughout the year. If you are interested, please fill out this form.

We are working on starting a BBYO chapter! BBYO is an international youth group for Jewish teens and is a great opportunity to meet other Jewish teens, in LA and around the world. The teen leadership board will plan fun events such as teen Shabbat dinners, beach days, bowling, movie nights, and more! As part of our IKAR BBYO experience, at least three events will focus on social justice and/or service-learning. We hope to have one BBYO event a month, usually the last weekend of the month.
