Our award-winning youth program begins at the kindergarten level and continues throughout high school. Four separate groups make up our program: K-2, Chaverim (Grades 3-5), Kadima (Grades 6-8), and USY (Grades 9-12).
While K-2 and Chaverim are unique to CBS, Kadima and USY are part of the International Jewish Youth organization sponsored by the Department of Youth Activities of the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism. All of our programs offer a range of cultural, social, educational, religious, and recreational activities geared to the needs and interests of Jewish youth of each age group at the chapter, regional, and international levels.
Some programs that have been very popular and successful in the past include our dances, Teen Shabbat, social action projects, teen discussions, and more. USYers also have a weekly lounge night to hang out with friends in our youth lounge. In addition to chapter programming, Kadimaniks and USYers have the opportunity to participate in regional and international programs. We are part of the CHUSY (Chicago-area USY) region, and we partner with other CHUSY chapters for various programs throughout the year, as well as participate in other regional events including a weeklong encampment, weekend-long KINNUSIM (conventions) and a weeklong International Convention which takes place in a different city each December and is attended by hundreds of teens.
Although our formal programming ends with high school, we do maintain contact with our college students through our College Connection. Each year, parents have the opportunity to sign their university-age children up for our mailings especially designed for college students which consist of boxes filled with goodies designed to bring a little bit of Beth Shalom to each student.
The CBS Youth Department is ready to meet your needs and we would love to have you as part of our program. Please feel free to contact Anne at CBSYouth@gmail.com or 847-498-4100 x25 with any questions or concerns you may have.
