Madrichim

Our Madrichim (teacher assistant, leader, or guide) program is a teen leadership program. The Madrichim program starts in 9th grade. Madrichim hold a number of different leadership roles in our JLC, such as assisting teachers in classrooms and tutoring the younger students during JLC. However, most importantly, they are role models for our youth.

Teen Tracks

Temple Beth Am’s Teen Tracks Program offers after school, weekend and special interest programs for teens in our community. TBA Teens are empowered to grow intellectually, socially, creatively and emotionally.

Moving Traditions

Moving Traditions groups promote self-discovery, challenge traditional gender roles, and celebrate a diversity of voices, it has the power to move our teens, our communities, and Judaism forward. Through the field-tested programs, Rosh Hodesh and Shevet Achim, offer groups for boys and girls in 8th-12th grade a unique cohort experience that inspire Jewish teens to openly explore fundamental questions of identity and society throughout their teen years.
