Youth Groups
What's great fun, gathers high school friends from more that eight neighboring high schools, and has plenty of room for you? BeTTY (Beth Tikvah Temple Youth) and they can't wait to welcome you! Ninth through twelfth grade members join together for fun, food, great friendships, social action service to the community, and the right mix of song and spiritual connection. TWEENS is for sixth through eighth grade members.
Both are affiliated with NFTY-CAR, the Chicago Area Region (CAR) of the National Federation of Temple Youth (NFTY), which is part of the Union for Reform Judaism (URJ) family of camps and youth programs. We are very proud to have the highest percentage of participation by our youth in the Chicago area!
Our Youth Groups are broken into two groups, which sometimes come together for programming or events:
- 6th-8th Grades - "Tweens"
- 9th-12th Grades - "BeTTY" (Beth Tikvah Temple Youth)
