Youth Groups
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 3-5).
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!

Youth Director: CARLY DANOWITZ
My name is Carly Danowitz and I am so excited to be your new Youth Director! I moved from Long Island (NY) in June 2021, and work at Donna Klein Jewish Academy as the Middle School Guidance Counselor. I have my Bachelors in Psychology from Binghamton University and my Masters in School Counseling from Long Island University. When I’m not at work, you can find me cooking, hanging out with friends, taking walks outside, trying out new restaurants, or reading. Fun fact: I love going on cruises!
