Discussion and learning with the Rabbi, beginning Wednesday at 4PM.

Session will last for 8 weeks.

     Open to all Jewish teens in the community regardless of affiliation, will meet Wednesdays for 8 weeks for events including: peer‐to‐peer discussions, educational debate sessions, provoking video presentations and community service activities.

     Teens love to socialize, and they love to network. The new Teen Group will take the skills that teenagers have mastered throughout time, and creatively channels their talents toward making a difference in the community.

     “Our goal is not just to get together and have a good time," said Rabbi Schmukler, director of Chabad of New Mexico, “It's also about encouraging our teens to take a leadership role. Our mission is to provide a nurturing environment where teens can learn about themselves through giving to others, identify with others who share the same faith, and be part of a group that focuses on building core values with an emphasis on character development,” Rabbi Schmukler explained.

     “Teen Group events will transform free time into constructive time and blends the perfect opportunity to have fun with friends and have a dynamic Jewish experience, and recreational projects that raise Jewish awareness." 

     It is estimated that only 20% of a teenager’s personal time is actually spent in a structured school environment. This Teen Group will provide the opportunity for teenagers to reassign some free time into meaningful time, constructively spent learning, giving, and interacting with other teens. Studies show that by joining groups that emphasize community service, teens build their self‐esteem, strengthen integrity, and maximize their cognitive development. They benefit from improved academic performance and enhanced life skills.
