RYFTI - Senior Youth Group

RYFTI

Fall Kallah was November 18-20, 2011, at Sargent Center in Hancock, NH.

Temple Israel provides a broad array of informal, fun Jewish experiences for our teens outside of the classroom.  In RYFTI (Reform Youth Federation of Temple Israel), Temple Israel’s teen population has the opportunity to experience Judaism within a very specific community. RYFTI holds monthly informal activities that range from scavenger hunts in Harvard Square to apple picking.

Along with the monthly informal activities there are two weekend Kallot held each year: RYFTI Fall Kallah (November) and RFYTI Clergy Weekend (May). These weekend getaways are a time for the teens to bond, have fun, and do a little learning.Every other year the 10th through 12th graders of Temple Israel also have the opportunity to attend the RAC L'Taken High School Seminar in Washington, D.C. This opportunity is for Reform Jewish teen to come together in our nation's capital to lobby to our Massachusetts elected officials on topics that they feel are important.
