Become a 2022-2023 youth group member

Sherith Israel has two youth groups, Sherith Israel Temple Youth (SITY) for 8–12th graders and Sherith Israel Middle Schoolers (SIMS) for 5–7th graders.

SITY hosts regular events planned and led by our elected SITY Leadership Board. Teens come up with our events and calendar. We will continue to host events using Zoom through the summer and throughout the upcoming school year. SITY members are also members of larger Jewish youth groups, and we join other synagogues from the Bay Area in various programs.

SIMS events are planned and led by older teens and Studio adult leadership. This year, SIMS members will have monthly zoom events and invitations to regularly scheduled SITY programs. 7th graders who would like to plan events can get in contact with SITY board through Natalie at nweizman@sherithisrael.org.
