Shabbos Morning Groups

We offer engaging and stimulating youth programming on select shabbos mornings for children. Our talented youth group leaders lead shabbos davening, learning discussions, games, and serve snacks to all the children. At the end of youth groups, children join the main minyan where our youth boys lead the shul for Ain Kelokeinu and Adon Olam.  Our youth group participants are all excited to earn BI Points which are used for an incredible incentive program where children can earn amazing prizes!
