Temple Etz Chaim Youth Programs

Temple Etz Chaim's Youth Department offers programs available to youth and teens in grades 4-12. Kadima includes grades 4-6, Jr. USY serves grades 7 and 8, and Sr. USY is our 9th-12th grade program. All ages can participate in Lounges and events as part of Temple Etz Chaim Youth.

Our Temple Etz Chaim chapter is part of the larger Far West Region of United Synagogue Youth. This region includes other chapters from Southern California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, New Mexico, and Hawaii. Youth and teens can get involved at the regiona level by attending assorted weekends (Kinnusim) throughout the year as well as summer travel programs, including trips across the country and throughout Israel.
