EDUCATION

 

After B’nai Mitzvah, Jewish life doesn’t pause—it levels up. Our Sunday morning program gives younger teens a chance to connect, grow, and step into leadership. Through hands-on service projects like Tikkun Olam Day, group talks, and collaborative learning, they build confidence, strengthen friendships, and discover how Jewish values can shape everyday life. 

CONFIRMATION

​

Judaism: The Big Questions—Curious teens meet on Sunday mornings with Rabbi Becca and Rabbi David to explore. Together, we dig into Judaism’s deepest and most challenging topics, from identity and God to Torah, antisemitism in school, and relationships. There are no easy answers, just honest talk and personal reflection. It’s a space to think deeply, speak freely, and connect with Judaism in a way that’s real, relevant, and uniquely your own.

VOLUNTEER

 

​Teen leadership program

8th–12th graders get the chance to step up and give back. Whether mentoring younger students or helping run programs, you’ll build confidence, develop real-world skills, and become a role model in our community. It’s hands-on, heart-led, and deeply rooted in Jewish values like mitzvah and tikkun olam. Bonus: Colleges love to see it - but the true value is the impact you have and the growth you experience.

SOCIALIZE

 

Kol Tikvah Temple Youth (KTTY) is where Jewish teens connect, take charge, and make memories that last. With fun social events, outdoor adventures, social action projects, and regional gatherings across the Southeast, there’s something for everyone. Run by a teen board (with support from Allie, our clergy, and the pros), KTTY helps teens grow as leaders, strengthen their Jewish identity, and find their people.
