TEFTY – Youth Group

Comprised of students in grades 8-12, TEFTY is part of a larger web of Reform Jewish youth groups across North America.

  • TEFTY offers social events, social action community events, and monthly programming such as lounge nights where students get together at the temple to talk about current issues and socialize/hang out.
  • TEFTY functions as a youth organization within the NFTY (North American Federation of Temple Youth) community. As a member of NFTY and the region SO (Southern), our youth group participates in local, regional, and national events.
  • Teens in TEFTY build friendships, lifelong Reform Jewish identities, and leadership skills through community building, worship, and experiential youth-led Jewish educational and social programming.

For more information on TEFTY, or to join, contact Monika F. Singletary at monika@ourtemple.org or 205.933.8037, ext 213.
