Youth & TE Teens

Youth Activities for Grades 3-12

The Harry Kraft Youth Department (includes TE Teens and USY) offers exciting social, spiritual, and educational programming. Our events occur both in and out of the synagogue synagogue, such as teen Shabbat dinners, pre-Chanukah dance party, splatter room, Chinese food night, escape room, Red Sox game, lounge nights, Purim Carnival, movie night, adventure park and more! One highlight program is our teen Israel trip, returning winter of 2023! We currently have over 200 members in our TE Teens program and an additional 80+ youth who participate in our other activities. For a full list of our upcoming programs, please click here!

Jewish camp and Israel trip funding available

At Temple Emanuel we are fortunate to be able to provide assistance for those families that may benefit from additional funding for Jewish summer camp, Israel or USY trips.  We do not want finances to be an obstacle for children to have amazing experiences in a Jewish context.  Message or call Jill Matusow at (617) 558-8112 or email Howard Greene.
