Dear BEKI Community,
Whether you have 5th-12th grade children today or in the past, or just want to tell us about your own Jewish childhood, we invite you to complete this short confidential survey about Jewish education and Jewish youth activities.
We care a lot about giving BEKI youth the tools to prioritize Jewish activities and to be leaders in the Jewish community of the future. Our youth programs are supported by the BEKI operating fund, donations earmarked for youth during High Holidays and other times of the year, several BEKI endowments for youth held at the Jewish Foundation, and our Deli Box Superbowl Sunday fundraiser.
Thank you very much for your time and support. If you have suggestions about our youth programs, please talk to me at any time, or our advisors, Steve Werlin (Kadima) [email protected], and Sarah Guariglia (USY) [email protected].
If you have 4th graders, stay tuned - we will have 2 Pre-Kadima activities for them this year.
B'shalom, Rena Cheskis-Gold BEKI Youth Commissioner Chair, Joint BEKI-BJ Youth Commission
