youth groups

Congregation Beth El’s youth groups are more exciting and active than ever! We’ve been to Camp Newman, had a fantastically successful tzedakah bake sale, celebrated Thanksgiving & Chanukah together, and even watched the Cal Bears beat the Iowa State Cyclones at Haas Pavillion!

We are looking forward to an amazing 2010. Ruach, our group for fourth and fifth graders, will start out the year with a Tu B’shvat Quest in Beth El's neighborhood. We will be going to Live Oak Park, and planting at Congregation Beth El. We are looking for parent volunteers to help with this event January 30th, 11 a.m.-1 p.m.!

Sababa, our sixth to eighth grade youth group is going on a ski/snowboard/sno-tube trip to Boreal Mountain Resort in Truckee, CA on February 7^th! We leave Beth El at 7 a.m. and return at approximately 8 p.m. RSVP to Rebecca DePalma to come on this exciting trip. Costs vary depending on age, equipment and lesson needs. We need parent volunteers to drive and/or help supervise this event. If you are able to help, then please contact Rebecca.
