Shabbat Morning Program Teen Tutors

8th Graders: This program starts students on the road to becoming SMP staff. The curriculum includes Ethics - emphasizing the Ethics of Speech, "Shmirat Lashon," leadership skills and tzedakah that inform their role as mentors of younger students; and a review of their prayer and Torah skills. 

9-12th Graders: It is a proud Adath tradition for teens to serve as SMP staff. This vital role engages these teens in Jewish life and teaches them responsibility, and the value of passing on our traditions. Service-based scholarships for Jewish summer camps and Israel trips are available to teens who serve as SMP staff. Contact Risa to learn more.
