Junior Board

The Junior Board is a volunteer organization consisting of older kids of temple families (the ones that are too old for Hebrew School, and too young to be members). In this group of friends, we learn about leadership and business skills.  Our main focuses are to raise money for the Temple, attract new members, and have a great time

We aren’t just raising money for the Temple in general now - all our proceeds are going towards certain products we wish to purchase to make our synagogue a more luxurious and comforting place to spend our time. Currently, our proceeds will be going towards a “literature rack”. This is where all information such as our monthly bulletin or flyers advertising various events will be kept for the entire congregation to view as they enter the temple.

How do we plan on making enough funds to purchase these niceties? We have had and will have many events to create these funds. We have had very successful car washes, a joyful talent show produced by the Junior Board and performed by children in the temple, and there has been a “lock in” where we spent all night in the temple watching movies, having a scavenger hunt, creating a video we placed on YouTube emphasizing the importance of certain Jewish traditions, and many other games.

In the future, we plan on having a movie day where we plan on showing movies of different ratings for different age groups. Also, we might have a carnival in late spring or early summer! We plan on getting help from the Men’s Club to create or renovate booths.

We also officially have officers for the present time. They are:

Rachel K.-President
Beth J.-Vice President
Robin W.-Secretary
Sam I.-Treasurer

We have a few new members and plan on asking newly Bar/Bat Mitzvah students to join, as well.

All in all, the Junior Board is working to make Temple Hatikvah and the rest of our community, and perhaps larger, a better place for everyone. Watch what we can do!
