Youth Dvar Torah Slam
Shabbat Shavuot, May 23
With Shavuot approaching, it's time to start planning for the annual Youth Dvar Torah Slam. This fixture on the Darchei calendar offers youth of all ages the chance to share their Torah insights to whatever extent they feel comfortable. We welcome divrei Torah ranging from 30 seconds to three minutes from all youth and teens. You pick the topic. Special gifts for all participants and an ice cream float bar. Parents and grandparents, please encourage your kids to participate. Contact Rabbi Davis if you have questions.
Bnei Akiva ~ בני עקיבא
Bnei Akiva is a worldwide Zionist youth movement that focuses on the Land of Israel and the Torah. Darchei Noam hosts one of more than 100 snifim (Bnei Akiva gatherings) across 37 countries. Open to students (chanichim) in grades 1 - 8, our snifim provide an opportunity to learn about Israel, Zionism, the weekly Parsha, and Judaism through games, songs, and other activities. Our Bnei Akiva snif generally meets on Shabbat for an hour and a half every other week. High schoolers from our community lead each meeting, working with our Bnot Sherut from Israel, Klil-Or and Oriya.
