An Advanced Leadership Certificate Program for Jewish Teens
Shamash Leadership Institute is a unique leadership partnership between Congregation Shaarei Kodesh and B’nai Torah Congregation, bringing together motivated teens in grades 8–12 to develop as Jewish leaders, role models, and community builders.
Through a four part series, teens will develop real-world leadership skills while building relationships across synagogue communities. The program will focus on the practical tools teens need to lead with confidence, communicate with purpose, stay organized, and serve as positive role models for younger students and peers.

Build lifelong friendships through social events, Shabbat experiences, regional conventions, community service, leadership opportunities, and unforgettable Jewish experiences.
Welcome to the BRUSY Bats chapter of USY! As part of the Conservative Movement’s international youth organization, BRUSY Bats connects Jewish teens in grades 8–12 to a vibrant network of peers locally, regionally, and around the world. In partnership with B’nai Torah Congregation, teens meet weekly on Tuesday evenings at alternating locations for leadership opportunities, social action projects, engaging discussions, community-building, and plenty of fun. Students can take on leadership roles within their local chapter, serve on regional boards, attend conventions and retreats, and even pursue leadership opportunities on the international level. BRUSY Bats is more than a teen group, it’s a place to build lifelong friendships, develop leadership skills, make a difference, and become part of the next generation of Jewish leaders.
