Teenvah

The Teenvah concept is to build connections for post Bnai Mitzvah teens (7th, 8th, and 9th grade) through food, games, and talking about relevant hot topics with Rabbi Chayva. The program is held on a weekday evening for an hour and a half; 30 minutes to eat, 30 minutes to talk, then 30 minutes have dessert, play games, and hang out.

Teenvah kicked off a pilot year in the Fall of 2024 with a Sukkot sleepover, followed by three more events in Spring of 2025. Upcoming dates are announced in the Weekly Dispatch Newsletter - sign up to find out! 

RSVP appreciated so we can order enough food. Full vegetarian dinner provided AND please let us know if they have foods they absolutely will not eat, food sensitivities, and/or allergies.

We are working on a new creative Confirmation program for teens at Am Tikvah.
Coming soon in 2026-27!
