The Youth and Family group offers young families a social setting to meet other young Jewish families from Hillcrest. We offer a fun and interesting variety of programs for Hillcrest members and non-members – some are kid friendly while others are just for adults.
Teen Kesher with Abby Kogan & Pizza with the Rabbi – Alternating monthly teen programs held at HJC that combine food, fun and Jewish text study. If you are interested in sponsoring the refreshments or to learn more please contact .
Youth Shabbat Dinners with Rabbi Manes Kogan and Cantor Rachel Black – Alternating monthly gatherings at the Rabbi’s home and/or held at the synagogue. Children of all ages (invited by age group) share a meaningful and yummy shabbat dinner. Dinners are graciously sponsored by members of the Hillcrest community. If you are interested in being a sponsor, please contact Hillcrest executive director, Nadine Kochavi.
Parent Connections – Saturday night or Sunday afternoon is the perfect time for young adults to gather without kids. Enjoy some adult-only fun filled with music, camaraderie, and good times!
Experiential Programs for Kids – Join us for family educational trips and special activities around Jewish holidays. Some of the programs include trips to museums, exhibits, musical events, and holiday celebrations. Cost of trips may be subsidized.
Check out the HJC daily email newsletters and/or the HJC calendar for all upcoming dates and times of events.
