“As a member of the Temple Emanu-El Youth Group board, I was able to hang out with friends, learn how to organize and operate events for the Emanu-El community, and build teamwork skills. We tried to incorporate community service, Jewish heritage and fun into each of our events. It feels great to know that when you are enjoying an event like Casino Night, you simultaneously are raising money for DOROT, a Jewish nonprofit organization.”

articipating in some or all of Temple Emanu-El’s Senior Youth Group (SYG) activities is a great way to make friends, experience one’s Jewish cultural identity and live one’s Jewish values. The SYG organizes a wide variety of events ranging from dinner at Sammy’s Roumanian Restaurant to a “Midnight Run ” around New York City tending to the homeless. The more students participate, the more connected they will feel with friends and the larger Emanu-El community.
SENIOR YOUTH GROUP BOARD
The SYG board is the heart of our Grade 9–12 community. Members meet regularly to organize and run activities for fellow high schoolers. In doing so, students will develop and put into practice leadership skills, strengthening their Jewish identities and values while making lifelong friends. In order to serve on the SYG board in 2012-2013, students must have participated in at least one of the following activities during the last year:
