teen & youth progrms
Temple Beth Hillel-Beth El is a great place to be a kid! Youth programming allows for exciting, fun and meaningful opportunities for all of the youth of our congregation. Our goal is for every child at TBH–BE to feel a part of our synagogue community.
We do not want the cost of any of our TBH-BE events to deter members from coming. If any of our programs are a financial hardship for your family, please reach out to Hallie Chandler at hchandler@tbhbe.org so we can make sure you can join us.

Past activities have included a magic show, minute-to-win-it games, and an under-night; most events are held on Sunday afternoons.
5th-7th graders
The goal of our 5th-7th programming is about building friendships. Past events have included BounceU, rock climbing, making candy sushi, and Top Chef: Cake Edition.

Our teen programming at Temple Beth Hillel - Beth El is affiliated with United Synagogue Youth, therefore allowing teens to participate in regional and national trips, conferences, and programs.
