Youth Groups

Message from our Immediate Past President of AMUSY

Am Yisrael Youth Groups are open to all youths in the congregation, whether they attend our School of Jewish Studies (SJS) or a Jewish Day School. We hope to provide our children and teens with many fun opportunities to spend time with Am Yisrael peers outside the classroom and Sanctuary settings. Programming is available to all ages, in Kindergarten through senior year of High School. Our 3rd-12th Graders have Chaveirm, Gesher and USY Groups that are affiliated with our national movement, United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism (USCJ). We hope you will take advantage of these excellent opportunities for informal youth group programming. We typically hold a lounge night the third Wednesday of every month, immediately following SJS on those evenings for our Gesher and AMUSY groups.  To learn more, please contact our Youth Director Sandra Mieli Kamm.
