Meet Our Youth Group Advisers.........posted Jul 14, 2010

New advisers for each of the four youth groups are eager to launch the new year. The Joint Youth Department of Shaare Tefila and Tikvat Israel has signed new staff members, including (for the first time in recent memory) a pair of advisers who are products of TI’s religious school and youth programs. Here is a rundown of the advising staff with brief biographical information.
