| Young Judea and Social Action Teen Club |
YOUNG JUDAEA IN THE CLASSROOM
In addition to formal Hebrew School classes, we have a number of youth
activities at the FJCC. Our Gimel - Vav students participate in a monthly
in-class Young Judaea program. A representative from Young Judaea will
come once a month to meet with 3rd through 6th graders to provide activities
about Israel and Israeli culture.
Hebrew High 9 through 12 will meet monthly with a representative from Young
Judaea from 6:15 to 7:15 in the Youth Lounge. More information will be
available in September.
There will be activities several times throughout the year for 5th through 8th
graders, coordinated by our high school students. These activities will take
place on the last Wednesday evening of the month. Details about this
program, still under construction, will be available in September.
SOCIAL ACTION TEEN CLUB
Rabbi Jaffe is the advisor for the Social Action Teen Club. Under his
supervision, students will determine the projects they wish to work on, make
arrangements (travel, buy supplies, schedule, make fliers, etc) and ultimately
implement those projects. Some ideas, but certainly not all, include:
1. Ongoing work/partnership with members of the Developmental Center
2. Sorting and shelving donations to the Food Pantry
3. Working with ARC to paint group homes as needed
4. Organizing a food redistribution program with local bakeries
Students will study (discuss) Jewish values that apply to their overall Service
Learning concept as well as specific projects. Club meetings will consist of
the study of issues relating to projects or potential projects, planning
projects, discussion of the Jewish aspect of these projects, evaluations, and
reflections. The students will select their own leaders and programs.
