Community

Reaching beyond our synagogue walls, these vibrant communities inspire and engage the Jewish youth of New Orleans:
 

JewCCY (Jewish Crescent City Youth)

Jewish Crescent City Youth (JewCCY) is a youth organization that seeks to build the identity of Jewish youth and maintain a strong foundation for the future of the Jewish people. JewCCY fosters relationships, creates bonds and educates participants through social, religious and social action experiences. JewCCY seeks to create a coalition of Jewish teens within the Greater New Orleans area, including, but not limited to, Congregation Gates of Prayer Congregation Temple Sinai, and  Touro Synagogue. JewCCY is an integral part of the larger southern Jewish community including Henry S. Jacobs Camp, NFTY and many other organizations. Contact JewCCY Director, Sarah Bate at jewccy@gmail.com or visit Jewccy.com for more information.
