During the Synagogue Game, our students engage in a simulation of the roles and responsibilities of the Synagogue lay leadership. Under the tutelage of a number of our board members, our students meet as members of various synagogue committees and discuss real issues facing the Synagogue. They then convene as a "Synagogue Board" to discuss their issues and solutions they have come up with to resolve them.
Not only does this game help prepare our young people for future service to their synagogues as adults, but each year their discussions often bring new ideas to the adult lay leaders of our congregation. This year was no different as evidenced by discussions among our adults afterward.
Many thanks to our adult lay leaders who volunteered their time for this very special event and to our 7th grade students for all of their great ideas!
