Havurat Noar - A Community of Youth

Havurat Noar is The Community Synagogue’s exciting way for our high school students to participate in the life of our community.  Our program offers opportunities for our students in grades 8 through 12 to learn with our clergy and educator through an engaging and dynamic curriculum.  The mission of Havurat Noar is “to nurture a vibrant youth community where young people can develop and embrace their identities as Jews.”  

Classes will meet on Tuesday nights from 6:30 – 8:00pm, beginning with a communal dinner and continuing with the core courses.  Each grade has its own core course, ranging from Tikkun Olam to Torah to MTV Judaism.  Each course is designed to be thought provoking and to deal with issues of modern teenage life.  Our Havurat Noar students are also given the opportunity to serve as madrichim, or student aides, in our religious school classrooms.  Any student who regularly participates in the 8th, 9th and 10th grades can join Kabbalat Torah (Confirmation) in the 11th grade.
