UPCOMING EVENTS

Monthly Programs

• Teen Parent Learning at Rabbi Cosgrove’s House – Parents and teens come together once a month to eat black and white cookies and learn with Rabbi Cosgrove, usually a deeper dive into his sermon or current events. Register
• Teens Combatting Antisemitism Task Force Meetings – Join the TCAS task force to learn more about historical and current antisemitism and how it perpetuates throughout New York City and across the world. During our meetings on Sundays, we will take time to discuss recent antisemitic hate crimes and make plans to address them. Sign up here to stay up to date on our latest programs.
• Teen Leadership Committee led programs – The Teen Leadership Committee will be running programs on Sundays by teens for teens. Sign up here to stay up to date on our latest programs.
• Senior Sundays – All 12th graders are invited to join us for monthly Senior Sundays. A place to take a break from the stress of being a senior and connect with other seniors in the same boat, but without the stress and competition of your school communities. We will talk about how to stay calm, how to make the most of your last year of high school even as it feels like it's all about next year. This will be a cozy space with activities and reflections led by Ariel, who was once a high school senior. Come try it out! 
• Monthly(ish) Movie Mondays – We're excited to start this new program! We will be watching movies, old and new, through a Jewish learning lens. Is the shoe scene in Barbie an allegory for the Garden of Eden? How did Oppenheimer's Judaism affect his decisions? Would Dirty Dancing be a different movie if Baby wasn't Jewish? Sign up here.
