Activities: Teens

Etzel HaAgam BBYO

Whether it's through fun events like Chicago's Second City, or through community service projects such as Yad L'Yad, Etzel HaAgam (Near the Lake) BBYO provides Jewish teens from around Chicago a fun and safe environment to explore what Judaism means to them, to those around them, and to the rest of the world.

Teens of all Jewish backgrounds and experience are welcome. We meet once or twice a month during the school year, depending on members' schedules, and a few times during the summer. Planning and participating in events gives all chapter graduates important leadership and teamwork skills.

Contact EHA BBYO VP of Membership through the synagogue office (773-752-2770) if you're interested in joining or if you just want to come to a meeting to see what we're like.
