 BATY (Beth Am Temple Youth) is a teen designed and led program for 9th -12th grade students which is supervised by adult youth professionals. BATY works to help instill Jewish identity and commitment to community through leadership development, Jewish education, religious and social action, worship, personal growth, and fun.
BATY’s leadership board members plan exciting programming for peers throughout the year including social action, religious, cultural, educational, and recreational activities. Each year the group designs and leads a teen Yom Kippur service, coordinates the congregation’s Purim Carnival, and hosts a beach bonfire on Lag B’Omer. BATY’s social action efforts focused on educating the public about the genocide in Darfur as well as raising funds and awareness of modern-day AIDS issues. Past events included a Pink Floyd Shabbaton, attendance at a comedy improv performance, a city-wide shul-in, a Sukkot pumpkin carving competition, a camping trip, havdalah, movies, mayhem and much more. Many BATY members participate in North American Federation of Temple Youth (NFTY) regional conclaves bringing together Reform movement teens from Alaska, British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, Montana and Idaho.
Download the Youth Department's 2009-2010 Calendar to see all the fun events planned this year, including Human Foosball, Purim Carnival, a Shul-In and potluck dinners.
