Beth Am is home to a very active youth community with over 200 active members in our Youth Groups. Youth group activities are offered to children and teens in grades 2 through 12.

  • MAHAR (meaning tomorrow), is for 2-3rd graders. MAHAR meets on a monthly basis on Sundays after JLC.

  • KADIMA (meaning to move forward) is for 4-6th graders. KADIMAniks meet on a monthly basis, and have the opportunity to attend the regional Kadima Kinnus at Camp Ramah in the spring.

  • USY is a teen-led group guided by professional staff for 7-12th graders. USY meets several times per month. Programming is very diverse, ranging from social activities and religious projects to Social Action events.

Beth Am Youth Groups meet several times a month for various social, religious, and community service programs. Our groups are open to Jewish youths whose families are members of Beth Am, as well as to those whose families are not members (see dues information below). Youth Group members have the opportunity to attend both local chapter events as well as Regional and International programs, at a discounted rate, with other Jewish youths from around the globe.
