Teen Education Network (TEN)
We are excited and eager to be a part of the Teen Education Network (TEN): a collaborative solution for community-wide teen programming. The Teen Education Network's primary goal is to connect Twin Cities Jewish teens with the programs that best suit them regardless of their affiliation or synagogue membership. This will be accomplished through a virtual catalog run by the Minneapolis Jewish Federation.
Each synagogue (including Adath Jeshurun) will continue to offer teen programming based on their strengths, expertise and audience. This programming will be open to the entire community. We are excited to share the plans for TEN at Adath for the 2019-2020 academic year.
