In addition to the opportunities geared to families, we have programs just for the Temple Jeremiah kids and teens. From our Youth Groups to our J-Quest aides to teen service trips, young people can get engaged, deepen their connection to Judaism and Jewish causes, gain leadership skills, and have fun.

Our Temple youth groups are divided by age:

JeTY, Jeremiah Temple Youth, is for 9th-12th graders
Jr. JeTY, Junior Jeremiah Temple Youth, is for 6th-8th graders
Club 345, is for 3rd-5th graders
Jeremiah Kids, is for K-2nd graders
Jeremiah Buddies, is for 2-4 year-olds

Looking for a comfy place to lounge before or after class or whenever you happen to be in the Temple? Our Youth Lounge is the perfect place! Find a spot on the couch, play a game, grab a snack. Find out about upcoming programs. Stop by and hang out!

Post B’nai Mitzvah age youth can volunteer as aides at J-Quest. Contact the school office at anne.kaplan@templejeremiah.org for more information.

Every few years, Temple Jeremiah youth take a trip to a place in need of our help. This unique program includes a Social Justice project and hands-on social action, allowing participants to develop leadership skills, Jewish learning, and connections with other young people. For more information, contact Erin Levine at erin@templejeremiah.org or 847.441.5760 ext. 113.

College students can stay in touch without having to do anything! Parents can contact Anne Kaplan at anne.kaplan@templejeremiah.org for more information or fill out a College Connection form, so Temple can send your student gifts and packages on religious holidays and other times during the year. There is a fee to help defray the cost of shipping. Also, we are always looking for college students willing to be a resource for a Temple Jeremiah high school junior or senior who is interested in their college or major.

Join our youth choir for the love of singing! No experience required.
