SUMMARY:USY - Jr/Sr - Lounge
DESCRIPTION:Junior USY is Temple Etz Chaim’s youth program for teens in 6
 th\, 7th and 8th grades.\n\nSenior USY is Temple Etz Chaim’s youth progr
 am for teens in 9th\, 10th\, 11th and 12th grades.\n\nTEC’s teens undert
 ake a variety of social\, educational\, religious and tzedakah programs 
 throughout the course of each year and plan. Our USY-ers participate in ma
 ny exciting activities from collecting and delivering food to the needy\, 
 conducting Shabbat services\, sponsoring the Purim Carnival and many socia
 l activities every month just for fun. Our youth group is here to serve no
 t only the synagogue\, but also the community. Furthermore\, USY is a Zion
 ist organization\, trying to build a relationship between Israel and our y
 outh in America.\n\nUSY is divided into three levels: the Chapter\, the Re
 gion\, and International. Our region\, Far West\, consists of six states.\
 n\nOn the regional level\, you can attend Kinnusim (conventions)\, dance
 s\, sporting events\, and Far West on Wheels with members of other synagog
 ues’ chapters.\n\nSeventeen different regions around the U.S.\, Canada\,
  and Mexico\, make up International USY\, with offices located in New York
 . The programs that are run through the International office include Inter
 national Convention\, USY on Wheels\, Israel Pilgrimage\, Etgar\, USY High
 \, NATIV\, HeHalutzim\, 613 Mitzvot Club\, and the Abraham Joshua Heschel 
 Honor Society.\n\nMembers of our award-winning chapter have many opportuni
 ties to attend weekly and monthly events\, meet other Jewish teens and eve
 n serve on the chapter board\, which helps plan events! One measure of our
  success is that we have begun to produce our own leaders. Many rabbis\, c
 antors\, educators\, and even community activists were themselves members 
 of USY. USY is a wonderful way for teens to connect with other Jewish teen
 s and to enhance their own leadership and Judaic skills.\n\nJoin our TEC 
 USY Facebook page or our TEC USY Instagram.\n\nContact Cindy Goldberg\,
