KESTY

KESTY is Temple Emanuel’s youth group for 8th – 12th graders. Find your home and find your community with other teens and peers. We plan events once a month like movie and game nights, trivia, cooking, arts & crafts, social justice activities, and so much more! There’s always something for everyone at KESTY! KESTY is a NFTY chapter (The Reform Jewish Youth Movement, formerly known as the North American Federation for Temple Youth), and as a NFTY chapter we also offer Shabbatons, seminars, Lock-ins and so much more to deepen the experience. KESTY is a great place to explore your personality and inner self in a warm, welcoming Jewish setting.
