YOUTH GROUP QUESTIONNAIRE

Dear Parents,

This is an exciting time for youth at W.S.I.S. Our staff is committed to building one of the strongest and most creative Orthodox youth programs in the country. Youth programs in the past have had many shortcomings, for one, they served merely as a babysitting program; second, the games and fun are randomly chosen to entertain without ever giving context and meaning to the shul experience. At W.S.I.S we are changing the basic synagogue model on many levels.

Shabbat Group

Beyond all the cool and exciting programs for youth, WSIS runs fully supervised youth groups every Shabbat for children and teens of all ages.

We have an extensive playroom and also boast one of the most kid friendly main sanctuaries around.

Groups start at 10:00 a.m. in the Yellow Room on the 2nd Floor.
