CRuSTY: Congregational Youth Group

A space just for teens, CRuSTY is a hub of community, culture, and connection. From current events and social justice to cooking classes, Jewish learning and movie nights, and holiday events and experiences, our 8th-12th graders are constantly engaging, connecting, and having fun! 

“CRuSTY” stands for Congregation Rodef Sholom Temple Youth and is part of NFTY's CWR, or Central West Region. All teens can participate in CRuSTY and NFTY events locally, regionally and nationally! Teens involved in CRuSTY can apply to be a part of our youth group leadership board to make decisions, grow community, and develop important leadership skills.

CRuSTY Leadership Board

Our Teen Leadership Board is a wonderful opportunity to gain leadership skills, forge friendships, develop your sense of self and give back to the Rodef Sholom community. We help all of our teen leaders to plan and run programming that will leave a legacy for years to come. For more information about board roles, formats, time commitment and/or responsibilities, please contact Jacob "Hershey" Hershman at youthdirector@rodefsholom.org.
