Temple Israel Youth Leadership Program (TIYul)
For young adults in grades 7-12
Whether you're new to our Education Center or previously/currently enrolled in Religious School or Confirmation, join TIYuL!
Temple Israel’s Youth Leadership program “TIYuL” – also a Hebrew word meaning “journey” – offers hands-on, creative learning opportunities from local Jewish leaders and experts, and explores the many exciting ways to see and understand the world through a Jewish lens along life’s journey. We’re offering 3-session mini-mesters throughout the school year, each with three electives from which to choose, and each taught by amazing TIYuL teachers.
Please note: Pre-Confirmation Students - To be eligible for TI’s Confirmation program, students must attend at least one TIYuL mini-mester. But we promise, once your student attends one mini-semester, they'll want to attend them all!
Please note, you must be a Temple Israel member to complete online Religious School registration -- more info at www.ti-stl.org/Join.
