Teen Programs

At Tamid, we know that teenagers are at an important stage of life – one where self-exploration, asking deep questions, and experimenting are all natural and normal behaviors. We offer an array of teen programming so that our teens can explore, question, and experiment in a safe and supportive environment. Through community service, learning, wrestling with our tradition, travel, and social programs, our teens grow under expert mentorship with decades of youth leadership experience.

Mitzvah Corps

Weekly High School Program
We meet on Wednesday nights from 7:15-8:15pm at Rabbi Scott’s home. We have dinner, schmooze, catch up with one another, and spend time studying Jewish values and texts…all in one hour, including dinner and dessert! It is a lot of fun, a great group of teens, and great conversations every week!

Downtown Hunger Action Project (DHAP)

High Schoolers Feed NYC’s Homeless
One Saturday night a month, we join the teens from our partner community, Tamid NYC, as we gather together in Manhattan, have dinner, pack meals and supply kits, and then fan out across lower Manhattan to give our packages out to those in need. We usually travel together by train. This fulfills community service hours for schools and clubs. Click here to register.

Annual Teen Social Justice Trip

8th-12th Graders Explore the Deep South, Social Justice Issues
February 19-22, 2026

Through the Etgar36, Tamid’s teens will be joining over 40 Jewish teens from local congregations for a four-day journey through the deep south, that uses the history, sites, and current issues as a springboard to highlight the relationship, and at times, the tension, of the Jewish and American identity. The journeys are a mix of fun, sightseeing, education, and meetings with organizations and people who have been and are still involved in creating America. Get more information about the Civil Rights Trip here! Interested in joining us?

Youth Groups

While our teen programming at Tamid is outstanding, there are many great ways for our high school students to be Jewishly involved in the broader teen Jewish community. Tamid will connect our teens with some of very the best options:

NFTY – The North American Federation of Temple Youth, the youth movement of Reform Judaism. NFTY offers all teens opportunities to participate in programs at other synagogues, on a regional, national, and international level, including social justice programs, camp retreats, and trips to Europe and Israel.

BBYO – Is a non-denominational Jewish youth group that spans the globe. BBYO is made up of local chapters, of which our teens have many to choose from in Westchester. These chapters join together to have regional events and national events, from social gatherings to justice work.

JTeen – is a project of UJA-Federation of NY and offers teens outstanding opportunities to gain leadership training and skills, as well as to do community service throughout Westchester.
