Kadima

Kadima is our youth programs for third to seventh grades. It offers our young members an opportunity to socialize with other Jewish youths, informal Jewish education, perform mitzvot and reinforce what it means to be a member of the Synagogue. Each grade has a representative that speaks for that grade level in planning activities. There are monthly activities that the members help plan. The activities vary. There will be Shul-in’s, participating in services, and involvement in regional activities, which is a great opportunity to meet Jewish youths in the greater community. Kadima also serves a bagel breakfast weekly to both the religious school students and parents/members. This is both a fundraiser and an opportunity for Kadima to provide a service to the Synagogue.

If you have any questions about Kadima the advisor, Joan Abrams, would be quite happy to answer them. You can contact her at 610-873-6639 or at campmaja@aol.com .

·        Kadima is still taking registrations for this year.

·        Kadima’s theme is Tzedakah begins at home. In addition to all the fun activities that are planned for this year the kids will be actively learning about what it means to be members at a Synagogue, so look for them to be hosting Onegs, participating in and attending Services, helping with grounds maintenance, and other activities that they are asked to do.

·        Every week Kadima has a bagel sale in the Synagogue Hall. Please have your breakfast with us. It is a fundraiser that goes towards helping to offset the cost of activities and also to pay for mailings and other housekeeping items. It will also help us with Tzedakah Projects. Please make sure to have your child there before 9:55 if you are planning on them having breakfast there as we stop selling to kids then so they can get to class on time

·        We would like to invite parents and other members to come in and grab a bagel. We aren’t just looking for an opportunity to sell you a bagel and coffee, we are going to have some Sunday papers available to read, offer you a comfortable place to sit, and you can meet up with other members that you usually only get to talk to in passing. Wireless internet is available as well so you can bring your laptop, and unlike some places BI won’t charge you to use it!
