Madrichol
Our new and exciting Madrichol program allows teens (grades 9-12) the opportunity to develop leadership and communication skills as they plan and implement programming for Mini and Micro BESHTY (grades K-5). The Madrichol meet once a month with Seth Cohen, our Youth Advisor, to learn leadership skills and to use these skills to create programming for upcoming youth events; and then they implement and staff these programs with our youth. The Madrichol form lasting bonds with each other and have a meaningful impact on their students. We hope you will join this great group of high schoolers as role models and leaders in our community! For more information, contact Seth Cohen (seth@tbsmb.org) or Rabbi Loiben (rabbiloiben@tbsmb.org).
*Madrichol = madrich (leader/guide) + kol (all/everyone)
As Hebrew is a gendered language, we chose to call our new teen leadership program Madrichol to be intentional about our language and inclusive to all, as we aim for the teens to be role models in the community, leading the community with our highest ideals.
For further information on these programs, events, registration, or financial assistance, please email Rabbi Loiben.
