Our Jewish Youth Groups

NOAR is a youth group for students in grades 9-12.
ATID is a youth group for grades 6-8. 

Youth group members participate in social activities and community service projects throughout the year. The group is mentored by Jewish Youth Advisor Rachel Saller (along with our Community Shaliach when applicable). Together they enjoy hayrides, trips to Six Flags, pizza and bowling parties, ice skating at Millennium Park in Chicago, and gatherings with teens from South Bend.

The youth also give generously of their time by working with Maot Chitim to deliver groceries to needy families during the High Holy Days and Passover. They also visit nursing homes on Shabbat and work in a soup kitchen on Easter Sunday so Christian volunteers can worship.

​Our NOAR and ATID youth learn a love for Israel and a respect for the sacrifices made there. Every year, the teens participate in the Yom Hazikaron memorial service organized by our Community Shaliach.

Join our youth groups!

If you have any questions about Noar (grades 9-12) and Atid (grades 6-8), please contact Rachel Saller, Jewish Youth Advisor, at 219-301-0960 or email rachel@federationonline.org.
