CAS Youth Department 

Welcome back to the "official" start to an AWESOME new year at the Congregation Agudath Sholom Youth Department (from hereon referred to as CASYD)!!! 

 

While some of you were away during the summer, we have been hard at work putting together amazing programs for you.

 

This shabbat we have a full slate of programs... please see our full listing below along with the names of this week's leaders. 

 

CASYD Mission

Our Youth Department strives to provide innovative religious and recreational activities for babies through senior teens, which infuse core Torah values and a general  menschlicheit into the daily lives of our youth.

 

Future- Tots 

Located in the Bridal Room on the second floor, this new group is a parent led group. Parents of children who are not yet ready to sit in an organized group can join their children for some quality shabbat play time.  

Tot Shabbat

Led by Morah Irene Okun, Morah Sonia Avny. Lauren Schechter and Karen Wexler

Toddlers through 3 year olds are invited to participate in our weekly interactive and educational Shabbat morning groups beginning at 10:30 am. The children march with their own stuffed Torahs while singing and dancing to their favorite Shabbat songs.  The program incorporates engaging activities, important Jewish lessons and a mini shabbat meal of challah rolls and grape juice as the morning "snack."  Although parents may choose to stay in the group, we highly encourage you to drop off your children.  If your child needs you to stay, please help the leaders keep the children's attention and focus on the group.  

  

Mini Minyan

Led by Sara Malka Cohen and Devorah Meyers

Pre-K children through first graders are beginning to grow roots in our shul and are learning to become active participants in our community. The curriculum aims to give children the comfort of being in a group without parents, the confidence in using Hebrew and an opportunity to show off their developing Tefilah and Hebrew skills on a weekly basis. Torah stories and games are used to teach important Jewish values. Every Mini Minyan Shabbat starts at 10:30 am and is followed by a mini shabbat meal where the children learn brachot and how to conduct a beautiful shabbat meal.

  

Junior Congregation

Led by Mark Rocklin and Shira Wexler

Boys and Girls in grades 2-6 are invited to attend our weekly Junior Congregation at 10:30 am. This lively group focuses on inspiring the children to become very comfortable leading davening. With a focus on extended child led tefilah, parshat hashavuah, parsha games, and divrei Torah, our goal is to engage and challenge our students on their level in a warm encouraging environment.  

 

Teen Minyan

Led by Josh Munk

All teens are invited to our Teen Minyan starting at 9:30 in the social hall.  Teen Minyan is an incredible opportunity for our teens to get involved in a real minyan. Teens will have the opportunity to lead various parts of tefillah, read from the Torah, give divrei Torah and participate in every aspect of the minyan.  Teens will be encouraged to take rolls of leadership in organizing different parts of the program.  Each teen minyan will be followed by a delicious HOT CHULENT kiddush just for the teens.  PLEASE email Rabbi Jeiger (rabbijeiger@hotmail.com) to sponsor a kiddush for any special occasion... dates are filling up fast.
