 Here at Beth Am, our youth live Jewish, meaning they: • Do Jewish — by giving tzedakah, performing acts of gemilut hasadim and tikkun olam. • Play Jewish — enjoy socializing with Jewish friends from BAFTY’s Monday night dinners to JAMTY’s rock climbing. • Think Jewish — they apply Jewish ethics to relevant issues and events. At Beth Am, our students are invited to be involved in both our Youth Group and our Religious School program. We are a strong presence in NFTY and this past year we hosted our region's Hatikvah Kallah in Febraury. The Kallah is a weekend of learning for students in NFTY-STR, which was led primarily by our active youth group board. The students view our congregation as a safe-haven away from the pressures of school and home. Our students love being here, where they are surrounded by friends and where they are challenged intellectually. Our program provides opportunities to participate in learning experiences that reflect the students’ interests and needs. Our students know that at Beth Am their views are taken seriously, they are respected, and they are unconditionally loved. Their experience in our youth program prepares them for living Jewish. Our students continue to be involved in Jewish activities in college and beyond. We will strive to ensure that Youth Groupers are active participants in the life of the larger congregation and will be found tutoring younger students, reading iyunim at services that they have written themselves, staffing holiday events and managing the youth group aspect of the congregation’s website, perhaps even starting a Facebook page. We are proud of our youth here at Beth Am. Our program allows the students to showcase their talents and truly be a light unto the nations.
