Top Chef: Jeremiah
Selected Sundays • 2:00 - 5:00 pm
Top Chef: Jeremiah comes to town for our high school students. We’ll meet in the Jeremiah kitchen at 1:00 pm on selected Sundays to hone our culinary skills, meet local chefs (we may have a Top Chef drop in!) and get the year off to a great start.

Other Events
JeTY participates in an annual Youth Group Shabbat Service. Additionally, every year our Youth Groups participate in the temple's Purim Carnival.

Social Action

InterAct
This unique program for post-Confirmation students - high school to college - includes a social justice project and hands-on social action, allowing participants to develop leadership skills, Jewish learning and connections with other young people.

L'Taken Social Justice Seminar
Washington, D.C.
Each year, JeTY makes a year-long commitment to a social action project. One of the highlights is a trip to Washington, D.C. Working with the Religious Action Center for Reform Judaism, JeTY students study what Judaism has to say about current political, cultural and social issues before Congress and then lobby our senators and representatives. We connect with other young Jews, explore the nation's capital and prepare position statements. Click above to learn more about the 2006 and 2007 trips taken by Rabbi C. Michelle Greenberg, former Rabbi at Temple Jeremiah, and some teenage participants.

About JeTY

For kids in grades 9 through 12, JeTY, previously called Senior Youth Group, is the place to be. With several programs a month, this is a very active youth group. Whether it's going to a baseball game or seeing a musical, this group is on the go! In addition to great social activities, JeTY is a place for learning, worshipping, and making a difference. We look forward every school year to a full calendar of fun, study and social action.

An affiliate of the National Federation of Temple Youth (NFTY), the Reform Movement’s North American Youth Group, JeTY offers a variety of experiences. Events have included making toys and games for needy children, making blankets for children at La Rabida Hospital and working at a food pantry. Our social events include taking trips to comedy shows, speed boating at Navy Pier and broomball.

JeTY Board

JeTY has its own board, giving its members an opportunity to plan events and learn leadership skills. To get involved, contact the Youth Department.
