Unfortunately the events of the past year on the global economic stage have made this wish an impossible dream. Indeed, while those of us working with families in poverty and despair often feel that we have seen rock bottom and that there is no further in fall, the year 2008 has proven that that pit of despair is in fact far deeper than any of us imagined. Much has been written about the effects of the global economic crisis on American life – on its financial institutions, its auto industry, its small businesses, its homeowners; for too many of us these news items are merely pale reflections of our personal experiences.

  • Har Sinai and Told Them the Aseret Hadibrot, Moshe Went up the Mountain Where He Stayed for Forty Days
    Dear Youth Directors, Youth chairs, and Youth Leaders, NCYI is excited to continue our very successful Parsha Nation Guides. I hope you’re enjoying and learning from Parsha Nation as much as we are. Putting together Parsha Nation every week is indeed no easy task. It takes a lot of time and effort to ensure that each section, as well as each age group, receives the attention and dedication it deserves. We inspire and mold future leaders. The youth leaders of Young Israel have the distinct honor and privilege to teach and develop the youth of Young Israel. Children today are constantly looking for role models and inspirations to latch on to and learn from. Whether it is actual sit down learning sessions, exciting Parsha trivia games, or even just walking down the hall to the Kiddush room, our youth look to us and watch our every move. It’s not always about the things we say, it’s about the things we do. Our children hear and see everything we do whether we realize it or not. This year we are taking our Youth Services to new heights as we introduce our Leadership Training Shabbaton. This engaging, interactive shabbaton will give youth leader’s hands on experience and practical solutions to effectively guide your youth department. Informal education is key. What the summer shows us as educators is that informal education can deliver better results and help increase our youth’s connection to Hashem. More and more shuls are revamping their youth program to give their children a better connection to shul and to Hashem.
