All students in Bamidbar (8th through 10th Grades) enjoy these experiences on Sunday mornings:

• Panim el Panim (Face to Face) – A chance for students to continue building their friendships, catch up on the week, and have conversations on a wide range of topics.
• Torah Discussions with Rabbi Maderer – A deep dive into the weekly Torah portion, with particular emphasis on what the Torah can teach us about how to live our lives today.
• Learning for Teens with teachers, and special appearances from the clergy and Jennifer James. This year, the teens will have three semesters, with a different custom-written curriculum each semester: What Does Jewish Look Like; What About God; and Interfaith Community Engagement.
• Weekly Electives – multiple choices for each trimester, including Designing No Place for Hate activities; History of Prayer with Rabbi Freedman; Jewish music with Cantor Hyman; Leadership training; and more.

Plus…

• Bagels with schmear and lots of other treats every Sunday morning in…a fantastic space created just for teens, with games lounging and everything they need to learn together.
• Sunday morning trips throughout the year, including social justice opportunities and a hike in the Wissahickon
• A December trip to Israel with Jennifer James.
• Youth group events with Jem Oshins, our Youth Engagement Coordinator, and chances to participate in NFTY-PAR, our regional Reform Jewish youth group.
• Holiday celebrations for Sukkot, Simchat Torah, Hanukkah, Purim, Pesach, Yom Ha’atzmaut, and Lag B’Omer!
• Family Shabbat dinners once a month. We love it when teens and their families come to Shabbat!
