Other Fridays nights will offer our youth group opportunities to have fun together and build a sense of community and belonging. A preliminary schedule of the teen events is available on the Studio Calendar.

Studio @ Sherith Israel's Vision
As a learning-centered community, we aim to facilitate the growth of open-minded Jews who articulate what Judaism means to them in a modern context. Our programs help to normalize Jewish practice, whether through prayer, ritual, cultural activities, study, decision-making, relationships or other aspects of Jewish life. The goal is for our youth to feel at home in Jewish communal spaces and gatherings, as well as to engage in tikkun olam, efforts to repair the wider world around them.
