Teen Programming Track

One of the names for the Jewish people, Yisrael, means “those who wrestle.” And since adolescence is an especially powerful time for exploring our identities and world more deeply, it can lead to a lot of struggle with our relationships, self-understanding, beliefs and communities. So many times, that struggle becomes lonely, isolating, scary and confusing. How can we build better tools for wrestling together? What would it look like to be able to engage in a healthy, supportive, creative way with new ideas and tough moments, finding our way to be able to stay in productive discomfort, even find joy in it? In this track, we’ll be exploring tools for helping our teens do just that.
