If this is your teen's first NFTY-SAR event this school year, you will need to fill out the health and safety form in addition to the online registration.  Please mail it back to me at TBE, drop it in my box in the main office, or scan and email it to me.  I will sign it and forward it on to the region. 

I am researching the best options for transportation and will send you details and costs in the coming weeks. For now, please budget $65-$75 for transportation to and from the event. I will also be in touch about the time of departure, but we expect to be leaving TBE around 11:45am-12:15pm on Friday, October 1st.



TYG Descriptions
KATANTY 23 is a first taste of youth group for students in 2nd and 3rd grades. KATANTY 23 provides our youngest youth group participants with great social activities designed to get Jewish kids together outside of the classroom.

KATANTY 45 is an opportunity for FUN for 4th and 5th graders! Come check out our movie night, Chanukah party, mystery field trips and much more. We meet a number of times throughout the year and always have a great time.

LIBERTY 67 is Temple Beth El's group for our 6th and 7th graders. LIBERTY 67 has great social programs, an all-night lock-in and a social action event as well. As our next generation of youth leaders, LIBERTY 67 members also have the opportunity to go to Hatikvah Kallah, a regional event attended by Reform Jewish 6th and 7th graders from around the region.

LIBERTY (Life In Beth El Reform Temple Youth) is our flagship youth group for teens in 8th - 12th grades.  LIBERTY  is a student-led group that meets on a regular basis for programs that are fun, creative, and worthwhile. LIBERTYites also travel to regional conventions throughout the year to spend time with Jewish teens from around the southeast. Imagine a Hanukkah party like no other. Imagine rock climbing with your friends. Imagine havdallah with everyone's voices lifted high, just as the sun goes down. Imagine creating your own meaningful Shabbat service. Imagine volunteering and making the world a better place. Imagine LIBERTY.

HaKesher: The College Connection at Temple Beth El
is a bridge between our hometown Jewish community and our college students who are growing and learning all over the world. HaKesher is sponsored by the Youth Committee, helps students stay in touch with TBE and with the Jewish community once they are out on their own



 
How you can help:

Temple Beth El provides THREE awesome ways to HELP!!!!:

This makes a perfect pre- or post- Religious School snack! The bagel bar will be open from 10:15am-11am…between sessions! Come get yours this Sunday!
  • VOLUNTEER! Without the help of AWESOME parents our events would not have gone so smoothly! Please let your advisors know that you would like to help chaperone an event!
