At B'nai Amoona, we offer youth programming from 3rd grade through high school. Our 3rd - 8th graders meet on Sundays and our USY'ers meet every Wednesday evening during the school year. We also offer Friday Night Game nights throughout the year for our Chalutzim and USY teens.
Kadima
Kadima is for all youth in 6th & 7th grade. Programs take place once a month on Sunday afternoons. This group will attend Emtza a Regional Kadima Kinnus event and join other 6th & 7th graders from throughout Emtza.
Chalutzim
Chalutzim (pioneers) is for all youth in 8th grade. Our pioneers meet twice a month on a Sunday. The first meeting will be to design a program that they will participate in later in the month.
They are also invited to a retreat at Trout Lodge from Oct. 27-29. Transpiration is provided for an additional cost.
B'nai Amoona USY (BAUSY)
BAUSY is B'nai Amoona's local chapter of United Synagoue Youth. USY is for all 9th-12th grade students. USY meets every Wednesday evening from 7:00pm-8:30pm and monthly for Shabbat experiences. Events are planned by our members and the USY Board. This group also attends five regional weekends throughout the Emtza region.
A Letter from the President
Shalom BAUSY!! I am extremely excited to start this USY year off with all of you. I am looking forward to the amazing programs we will have together and the new memories we will create.
This summer I got the amazing opportunity to go on the USY Eastern Europe/Israel Pilgrimage to learn new skills in becoming a USY leader. I can’t wait to use all of these skills at USY events.
A Letter from the Youth Director
Welcome back to BAUSY!
It has been a great summer and now we are looking forward to an amazing year. President Rina Gersten has been working with me to plan some really exciting opening programs this year!
BAUSY is a place to come and hang out with friends and plan even more amazing programs. We have space for everyone!
This year will be my first year as the Director of Youth and Camp. I have spent the last five years working for BAUSY as a Youth Advisor, but cannot wait to take on my new role.
Looking forward to having a great year!
