We served both foods and everyone had a great time and actually learned a great deal. The National Council of Young Israel offers a Youth Director Placement Service. We are currently collecting resumes of experienced, motivated, and responsible individuals interested in becoming a youth director. Positions vary in responsibilities, time commitment, salary, and location so please be specific in your cover letter as to what type of position you are looking for. Young Israel synagogues are all orthodox and, therefore, require that background of their applicants.
All positions require leading groups on shabbat.
For a really nice art project make netiylat yadayim towels. We purchased little finger towels in various colors. We brought donations, learned about hunger in our area, and sorted over 6000 pounds of food, checking for labels, contaminated cans, and long expired expiration dates. There are several animal shelters in the area, and we plan to have a collection and volunteer morning at one of them. This would also work for Youth Groups.
