BAYGL: Beth Avodah Youth Group League
The youth of Temple Beth Avodah are invited to participate in our youth group, BAYGL. We have 3 youth-based groups that serve our Temple youth in grades 3-12. For more information about youth programming, contact Youth Educator Becky Oliver (boliver@bethavodah.org).
Mini BAYGL, Grade 3-5. Mini BAYGL gets 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders together for fun social and cultural events through the year. This includes the annual Mini BAYGL Shul-In (sleepover) every year for grades 4 and 5. In order to make these events successful, parents are asked to help chaperone and drive for off-site events throughout the year. Past events have included apple picking, snowtubing, and game nights. For more information about Mini BAYGL please contact the advisor Leigh Sapir (leigh.sapir@gmail.com).
Junior BAYGL, Grades 6-8. Jr. BAYGL is place for 6th, 7th and 8th graders to be a part of the community beyond their Bar or Bat Mitzvah preparation. Members enjoy 4 big events during the year as well as meetings and small get-togethers. Jr. BAYGL has enjoyed events such as indoor skydiving and laser tag in the past. For more information about Jr. BAYGL please contact the advisor Samara Coble (samara.coble@gmail.com).
Senior BAYGL, Grades 9-12, Sr. BAYGL is a wonderful community of Jewish teens that plans their own events including social, cultural, social action, and educational opportunities. The group is led by a youth board that meets regularly to plan events and represent the youth of our congregation. Members can also participate in regional youth group NFTY-NE (www.nfty.org/ne). Both BAYGL and NFTY provide our youth with the opportunity to build strong Jewish communities and grow into thoughtful Jewish adults. For more information about Sr. BAYGL please contact the advisor Hannah Berman (sr.baygl@gmail.com).
