We have a dynamic youth service which welcomes boys and girls as they approach bar/batmitzvah through to school leaving age.
Where possible we have a service which includes boys and girls. Given our expansion plans we are forced due to lack of space to have a boys' only minyan. The numbers have grown, regularly between 20 and 30 attend. It is most gratifying to see them taking and running the service. Younger boys are helped and encouraged by the older boys to take part. Dads attend as well and supervision is always on hand in a light-touch way. There is always a kiddush including cholent and kugel.
We look forward to a dedicated room being available when the building work is complete and preteen and teen girls will be welcome once again.
