Congregation Shaarei Kodesh is part of the Hanegev Region of the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism and is a member of the Arvot Sub-Region of USY. We have youth programs for high school students (grades 9-12), middle school students (grades 6-8), as well as elementary school students (grades K-5).
Our programs are part of the national youth movement for Conservative Jewish teens across North America. For more than 60 years, USY has taught young Jews the values and skills they need to become exceptional leaders in their religious and secular communities. These programs become a second home – a safe, fun space where children and teens can be themselves and discover their potential.
Our Youth Groups provide the space for teens and children to find a sense of belonging in a warm, inclusive community, meet new friends and form lasting bonds through shared experiences, and develop confidence and leadership skills.
Encourage your child, along with their other Jewish friends in the community, to join CSK’s Youth Groups!
USYers can go to several conventions, regionally, sub-regionally, and internationally. There are also city-wide activities where the USY chapters from around South Florida get together and perform mitzvot, socialize, or just hang out. CSK USY meets on Tuesdays from 6:30-8:00 pm and on occasional weekend days.
USY Dues – $180
