Youth Groups
Youth
Agudas Achim Congregation is home to three youth groups, all affiliated with the Conservative Movement: USY, Kadima, Machar, and Shoresh.
United Synagogue Youth
United Synagogue Youth (USY) gives high school students (grades 9-12) the opportunity to socialize with Jewish peers, to become involved in the synagogue and the Jewish community, and to experience a Jewish lifestyle. Members of the group, along with their adult advisors, plan our chapter’s programs and participate in regional and national USY dances and conventions.
Kadima
Kadima holds several chapter programs per month for AAC’s middle schoolers (grades 6-8), and members participate in Kadima’s regional events and conventions. The program includes social events, fundraising activities, religious programs, community involvement and field trips.
Machar
Machar, for 4th and 5th grade students, meets once a month. Its programs include Jewish Holiday participation, Tzedakah projects, arts and crafts and fun field trips. Machar activities will begin after the High Holidays.
Shoresh
Shoresh, for students in grades K-3, meets once a month. Its programs include Jewish holiday participation, tzedakah projects, arts and crafts, and fun field trips. Shoresh activities begin after the High Holidays.

Purim Shpiel Drama Chug
Sundays, starting January 10, 2021
Youth Group Programming is sponsoring an after Sunday School Drama Chug (Drama Special Interest Group)! The Chug will meet on selected Sundays starting Sunday, January 10, 2021. The group will prepare and perform this year's community Purim Shpiel to be performed on February 25, 2021 as part of the community Purim celebration & Megillah Reading.
COST: $35 per person, $50 per family.
COVID INFO: At this time, it is ill advised for large groups of people to meet in person. It is very unlikely that rehearsals will be live, instead we will be working on Zoom and having cast members video their scenes which we will then use to create a short Purim video. Exact details of how this program will work will be put in place over the next couple of weeks. Actors will still need costumes, will need to memorize lines, etc. Exact production details will be shared as soon as they are set. If siblings and/or parents wish to participate in this year's shpiel along with their children, it will allow us to write scenes where people interact.
We would love to have many family units enrolling together so that we have more options of taping dialogues.
Get More Info And Register.
Registration will close on January 6.
