Doing Good Through Philanthropy
Congregation Shaarey Tefilla encourages our teen to participate in the JFGI YoPHi program. They invited a diverse group of goal-oriented (and fun-loving!) teens to take a significant leadership role in our community by raising and allocating funds to solve authentic community issues. Along the way, participants will learn more about Jewish values and what it really means to be a leader.
