Information and questions about ETY 1. ETY also provides opportunities for community service and leadership-building. The program is designed to give teens opportunities to interact socially with other Jewish youth in a safe environment in order to foster a Jewish identity and increase the probability of their staying connected to the temple and to each other through High School and into young adulthood. Teens don t need to become a member to attend ETY events. If they think they ll come to more than a few, it may help to join since membership includes discount coupons.
Cost varies by event.
The temple doesn t look to make a profit, just to cover whatever it costs. We often get group rates making participation less expensive than doing the same activities on their own. ETY is sponsored by Temple Emanuel and is run by an executive board of teens who are voted in each year by teens at the temple. The board meets approximately once a month to plan, organize and run ETY's events. The board and the group is overseen by Keary Slater, youth advisor.
