YOUTH GROUP (TIFTY)
Temple Israel Federation of Temple Youth (TIFTY) is our community's youth group (grades 3-12). This program creates young leaders through active engagement in congregational life and dynamic programs that develop lifelong friendships and a love for Judaism. Many of TIFTY's social events are focused on social action and include serving at the Harvey Kornblum Jewish Food Pantry, making birthday bags for students at Monroe Elementary, and helping with the Thanksgiving Dinner for Those in Need and other mitzvah opportunities.
TIFTY is affiliated with the Missouri Valley Region of NFTY, the North American Federation of Temple Youth, and Netzer Olami, the international Reform Zionist youth movement.
