Temple Micah offers a robust teen education program, which we call “R2B” (“Reason 2 Be”). 8th-12th graders meet weekly on Tuesday evenings for dinner and discussion, tackling tough questions, big ideas, and fun Jewish topics. Past discussions have included identity, the history of Jews in the comic book industry, Jewish ritual, social justice, Sephardic and Mizrahi traditions, Jewish ghost stories, and more.
Registration opens in the spring, but 8th-12th graders interested in joining R2B should email Mckinley Edelman, Temple Micah’s Assistant Director of Education, any time during the year at edelman@templemicah.org.
Temple Micah membership is required for participation in R2B. For more information about joining Micah, contact Jeannelle D’Isa, Director of Membership.
