In Seventh through Twelfth Grades, students move from personal exploration to embodying Jewish values and leadership. These years are designed to empower students to live out their Judaism in meaningful, authentic ways—through learning, action, reflection, and community. With a wide range of program options and learning pathways, students are given more choices, ownership, and responsibility in how they engage. Whether deepening their knowledge, mentoring younger students, or taking on leadership roles, our teens continue their Jewish journey by putting their values into practice and making Judaism their own.

"While being a madrich was great on its own, something that made it so much more fun were the people I was doing it with. The other music madrichim were some of the nicest people I think I've met in my entire life and they elevated the experience from just another activity into something that I looked forward to each week. Five out of five, would recommend." – Julian G., J-Quest Student and Music Madrich
