Teen Education & Engagement
Darcone
Classroom learning takes a different shape as our students enter their teen years. Monthly discussions by grade with CBI clergy & staff take place on topics that are relevant to their lives as Jewish American Teenagers.
Topics vary on each year's classes but have included:
Exploring the Jewish American Experience including trips to Ellis Island and Manhattan's Lower East Side
Examining the Jewish view on ethics surrounding issues they face every day as high school students.
Studying the development of the modern State of Israel and the relationship between Israeli & American Jewry on campus and in the political sphere.
