“The Senior Youth Group board helps us teenagers to grow and mature before we set out into the real world.

— Julia Slaff, Senior Youth Group Co-President 2012-2013

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.
