Youth Group (SHY)

Shir Hadash Youth Group (SHY) begins its sixth year with great excitement and energy!  SHY offers young people the building blocks for solid Jewish identity through community, learning, leading, mentoring and fun.

The Shir Hadash Youth Group for 4^th – 12^th graders is open to all children of Shir Hadash members.

SHY is affiliated with the National Reconstructionist Youth Movement, No’ar Hadash, and as part of the larger group, we participate in the Midwest Kallah and the North American Teen Kallah.

Youth Group activities for each age group are scheduled throughout the year after school on Sundays, Saturday nights and at other times.  A schedule of the year’s events and activities will be published early in the school year.
