Programs for post B’nai Mitzvah and Teens 

Teen Torah Talk: An Affirmation Class for students in 8th - 11th grades 

Judaism is about passing traditions from generation to generation, family values and Jewish ethics. It is about Shabbat and holiday life, and how we treat each other. The way we live our lives depends on demonstrating these values and ethics, and the continued affirmation of our Jewish identity. In this class we will answer: Is Torah still relevant to my life? What is Eco-Judaism? Does the Torah address...sibling rivalry?...gossip?...relationship building?...personal destiny? Come join other Boulder teens (8th grade and above) in text study and lively group discussions, as we discover how our ancient stories are awesome teachers.

Dance & Speak Out: Arts-based Tikkun Olam class for students in 8th - 12th grades

Dance/Speak out will be a community group for 8-12th graders that uses dance, spoken word, and other artist avenues to deepen our relationship to ourselves and expand the impact we have on the world- working with the Jewish values of Tikkun Olam. Led by Jenny Schiff each session will begin with the movement mediation practice Schiff-ting* followed by a short jazz or modern dance class. Students will discuss the places in themselves and the world that have the most need and short pieces of choreography and spoken word will be facilitated by Jenny. Students will have the opportunity to bring their artistic skills to the process and there will be showings periodically through the semester. 

Let us be the radical voice/inspiration of society by allowing people to experience the world through us. *Schiff-ting is a movement improvisation technique developed by Jenny Schiff that uses breath and movement to explore and express the sensations living inside the cells of the body.

Thursday afternoons, twice a month, 4:15pm - 6:15pm at Nevei Kodesh • Taught by Jenny Schiff • all are welcome • $318 year
