Who We Are & What We Do
BarTy, which stands for Barnert Temple Youth, is the high school voice of the Barnert Temple community. BarTy is a part of NFTY (North American Federation of Temple Youth www.nfty.org, the national Jewish Reform teen movement.

The youth group is meant to be a compliment to post Bar Mitzvah classes, but some of the members find a spiritual/emotional connection to Judaism through temple youth group programming and NFTY conferences alone. Our youth group promotes informal education in the form of social action, religious experience, cultural programming and a social environment outside the classroom.

Each year, BarTY runs a variety of programs and events. Examples of these events include:

Social Get-Togethers like group trips to Cirque Du Soliel, Dorney Park, Laser Tag, and New York City.

Social service events like the Food for Thought dinner to raise money for a school in Cambodia; March Midnight Run to collect items to help the homeless in New York City; and preparing food for St. Paul's Men's Shelter.

BarTY has also had a larger role and presence in Temple-wide events like Synaplex Shabbat and Barnert's 160th Anniversary Celebration.

If you would like to become part of Barnert Temple's Youth Group, please contact our advisors. You can also download the BarTY Membership Form here.
