The Community's Young People aged 0-18
The Community's young people have made a significant contribution both within the West Midlands Jewish community and further afield once they have left home. In former years the youth in the community benefited from Israeli and home grown Youth Workers who worked with the Birmingham Jewish Youth Trust to provide programmes, activities and events to reinforce and consolidate Jewish identity. The Trust also supported national Jewish and Zionist Youth organisations who had a presence in Birmingham.
In recent years due to the decline in numbers of young people within the community, the Youth Trust could no longer remain active. Whilst efforts from some national organisations to engage the community's young people still continues, the Synagogues have tried to ensure that there are activities and programmes specifically for different age groups.
On a weekly basis the following activities take place:
Monday
Singers Hill Joseph Cohen Hall - Torah Tots, 9.15am -12.45pm
Solihull Synagogue - Mother and Toddler Group 11am
Thursday
Singers Hill Joseph Cohen Hall - Torah Tots, 9.15am -12.45pm
Singers Hill Joseph Cohen Hall - Chai Club (after school) 3.45pm - 5.45pm
