Youth Program

At Congregation Ariel, we know that the youth are our future. 

Our youth director, Mrs. Elka Reisch, provides exciting and varied programming for youth of all ages, from toddlers through teens.

Congregation Ariel has programming throughout the year to help bring excitement and connection around Jewish Holidays and special occasions for our youth! Between ChillZone, Youth Outings and Activities our community is always participating in ways to engage our most valued members, our children. Every Shabbos and holiday is celebrated in a meaningful way for our youth.  

Our Shabbos morning programming is divided by age level to meet the needs of the children it serves.

Preschool Shabbos Morning Program: Tot Shabbat is led by our dynamic teacher. The children play and do a Tefillah service filled with movement and song. The program is concluded by a Kiddush.

Elementary School Shabbos Morning Program: Children are divided into groups, by age, to engage in a meaningful morning program. Games, Parsha lessons and Tefilah are led by our Teen Leaders in each of the 4 classrooms. Tokens are earned at groups and traded in for fun prizes at the end!

Teen Shabbos Morning Program: Our teens create and participate in their own Teen Kiddush. Our young men and women have separate kiddush rooms to socialize, hear a Dvar Torah from a mentor and eat together.

CHILLZONE: On Motzei Shabbos we have ChillZone for boys and girls! Saturday night learning, fun actvities, raffles, prizes, and pizza!! This program is always exciting and lasts through the months of daylight savings time. The more times each child participates the better the swag they will walk away with at the end.

Please feel free to contact Mrs.Elka Reisch directly with any questions.
