The Yad Squad is our incentive program for young Torah readers, generously funded by the Ed and Rita Balk TNT (Torah, Nussach, Tefillah) fund. Membership is attained on a yearly basis by helping lead our services at least five times from Shavuot to Shavuot. All five can be Torah reading or a combination of Torah reading and up to two times leading a service. When a student gains membership into the Yad Squad they receive $100.00 from the TNT fund. We are committed to the program as a way to cultivate committed Torah readers and service leaders and to let our young people know they are valued in the ritual life of our congregation.
