Youth Groups

WELCOME TO the Kettler & Levy Family Youth Connection

Where Jewish students of all ages find a home for personal growth, community engagement, and lasting connections. Our youth groups cater to students in grades K-12, providing age-specific programs tailored to their developmental needs.

Explore our three unique youth groups, each designed to meet the distinct needs of students in different grade ranges.

Beth Torah’s youth programs are open to members and non-members.

CHALUTZIM

Grades K-5

For our youngest learners in elementary grades K-5, CHALUTZIM is a once-a-month gathering where children engage in a variety of activities, including social gatherings, holiday celebrations, and exciting field trips. It’s the perfect introduction to community, friendship, and the joy of being part of something special.

KADIMA

Grades 6-7

Calling all 6th and 7th graders—join us for KADIMA! Meeting twice a week, KADIMA is where fun and friendship come alive. From movie nights and Olympic-style competitions to laser tag and more, every gathering is an adventure. Plus, our two Annual Shabbaton weekends create a one-of-a-kind Shabbat experience designed just for teens. Don’t miss out—be part of the energy, the laughter, and the memories that last a lifetime!

Social Connection for J2M Students
Students enrolled in Beth Torah’s J2M Bar & Bat Mitzvah Program are automatically enrolled in KADIMA at no extra cost. This is the social component of their B’nai Mitzvah journey, giving them a chance to connect with friends, share experiences, and create lasting memories beyond the classroom.

USY

Grades 8-12

USY, our high school division for grades 8-12, meets weekly on Wednesday nights. Beyond regular meetings, USY also takes the lead on our two Annual Shabbaton for our middle & high school students. From volunteering in the community to enjoying time in our teen-friendly youth lounge, USY becomes more than a youth group – it becomes a second home. Experience the warmth of a supportive community, where friendships flourish and personal growth is celebrated.

Join us at The Kettler & Levy Family Youth Connection, where every stage of your child’s journey is met with tailored experiences, enriching lives, one connection at a time.
