Youth Activities

 

Temple Emanuel has an active youth program for middle and high school aged children.  These activities include religious, social, cultural and recreational programming, including trips to Disney World, Busch Gardens, ice skating, horseback riding, educational speakers, leading services and delivering apple and honey baskets to new members of the community.

The Kadima, grades 6-8, and USY grade 9-12, chapters are part of the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism. Often youth groups members travel to other cities in Florida for dances, overnights, concerts or conventions, meeting hundreds of other Jewish youth.
