"Jewish kids in a Jewish place"-Tzvi

Schedule: Sundays 9 to 12pm

This is an opportunity for Yahad graduates who want to stay involved and give back.

This vibrant, committed group of teenagers donate their time, energy, and skills to the school. Contributions range from clerical, creative or educational; and provide a vital role in the success of a typical Sunday school day. At any point of the morning, you may see madrichim doing office work, helping out in the classroom, or simply holding a hand. Each madrich commits to a minimum of 36 hours per year and many far exceed that amount. This program keeps these young congregants connected to B’nai Jacob and to Jewish life.
