Our Kol Israel young people have an exciting year
ahead of them. There will be many opportunities for children
and young adults of all ages to be involved in shul and shul
activities. We have a wonderful lineup of Rabbis and teachers.
Our youth Rabbis will be available to our members and their children
7 days a week.
Our Kol Israel Annex Shabbat program incudes:
-Rabbi Moses Haber leading teens and young adults
-Rabbi David Shweky running the boys minyan
-David Dayan working with both of those groups
-Evan Tobias teaching our boys to read Torah
-Sally Grazi-Shatzkes leading our girls Tefillah
We are looking forward to some changes for Rabbi
Shweky’s boys minyan. There will be a new layout in the
upstairs annex – it will be set up as a more traditional shul.
We anticipate conducting a number of father/son minyanim. It
promises to be a great year for Kol Israel kids!
Kool Israel
Kol
Israel Youth is off to a great start for the New Year. With the
direction and leadership of Rabbi Haber we have put together many
ideas for fun and exciting events for the young boys, high school,
and college youth. In the fall, we will challenge Shaare Shalom to
softball and ultimate and also bring back the Kol Israel fishing
trip. We want to also provide Halacha and Tanach classes for girls
during the week. For the winter, we are very excited to continue the
Friday Night Oneg events we had last year with entertaining family
events such as Family Feud.
Chesed programs such as delivering food to those
less fortunate will be a great way for the college kids to give back
to our community and to a tremendous mitzvah. We will have soccer
and ultimate games for the girls and our first Kol Israel BBQ in
Marine Park in the spring. We also plan to organize a
Shabbat-friendly scavenger hunt! The KI Youth committee wants to
instill enthusiasm to come to Shul and to attend and participate in
the programs to form a fun and active group of kids. We urge that
everyone will do their part in making this a success and always go
to the committee with any ideas or suggestions you may have.
Boys' Minyan
Shabbat Morning: 9:00-11:00am with Rabbi Shweky in
the Annex (2nd Floor)
A one of a kind educational tefilla program for elementary school boys from
1st to 6th grade. While the 3rd to 6th graders pray together at a normal
pace under the guidance of Rabbi Berk, the 1st and 2nd graders are
personally coached in the nuances of tefilla by junior high school
volunteers. This program within a program is a cutting age way of gearing up
our youngsters to become full fledged minyan participants.
Girls' Group
Shabbat Morning: 10:00 – 11:00 with Sally Grazi
Shatzkes in the Annex (Attic)
A young girls learning program that combines learning Torah with games that
promote group building and character development for ages 7 to 13 years old.
