BESTY General Information

Youth Activities at Beth Emeth

At Congregation Beth Emeth, we understand that youth are an essential part of our congregation, and that their participation and presence at the synagogue is essential to Beth Emeth thriving in the Jewish Community.

Beth Emeth has three active youth groups, plus additional youth programming for all ages. Each of the three youth groups has about one event per month. There are activities that are tailored to each demographic, as well as activities that are for everyone. Activities often have social, active, educational, Jewish, and philanthropic components.

Below are examples of activities that each youth group has enjoyed:

BESTY 4th and 5th Grade

Recent events have included Afternoon Movies, Minute To Win It, Board Game Parties, mitzvah projects, and more!

BESTY 6th through 7th Grade
