Teen Mitzvah Corps
Teen Mitzvah Corps, a Temple B’nai Abraham group for teens in grades 7-12, meets once a month. The goal is to volunteer in our synagogue and larger community. By making a difference in meaningful ways, we hope to nourish the expanding minds and souls of our Jewish teens. With Jordan Gelber as the adviser, we help them explore how doing for others can be a miraculous moment for both the giver and receiver. This allows them to become the philanthropic leaders of our teen community!
