Teen Engagement Committee
Teen Engagement Committee
The Teen Engagement Committee is now part for the Kehillah (Community) Cluster, and continues to encourage the continued involvement of our post B’nei Mitzvah youth members.
There are two main purposes of this committee:
- To support program staff for any teen-related activities (i.e., Wednesday night dinners or Shabbatons)
- To support and encourage the teens themselves to plan and implement activities as they see fit.
The committee is also a resource for other groups when they have an idea for youth involvement, such as a Tikkun Olam project.

What is Coming Home to Solidarity? Coming Home to Solidarity is a workshop designed to help us create a culture and community where all members freely show up as their authentic selves; where all are valued, appreciated, and have a sense of belonging. The workshop is an opportunity for white-bodied or white-identifying congregants to come together in a supportive and caring environment to reflect, learn and unlearn, heal from the ways we have been impacted by white supremacy, and start to recognize new possibilities for taking action.
