Youth Groups

Dear Temple Emanuel Family,

TEFTY NEEDS YOU!!

WINSTY Winter Conference, January 13-15
Temple Emanuel, Cherry Hill

Temple Emanuel and its youth groups have been selected to host this year’s North American Federation of Temple Youth/ Pennsylvania Region (NFTY/PAR) social action convention, WINSTY. NFTY/PAR is our Reform movement’s regional high school youth group.

During Martin Luther King weekend, January 13 through January 15, you will find close to two hundred teens from the entire Pennsylvania/South Jersey area here at our synagogue. Imagine 200 teens living Jewishly, doing mitzvot, making a difference, and having the most incredible weekend ever…awesome!!

Hosting a retreat of this significance needs a tremendous amount of support, especially from our synagogue families. Your assistance and support will make this weekend truly memorable for everyone, and most especially for our youth.

Please read the following descriptions with utmost care and consideration. Then, click here for the WINSTY volunteer form. Complete it, and
