For our teens:
Or Atid collaborates with our sister synagogues in J-LOFT (Jewish Learning Opportunities for Teens), a unique partnership among MetroWest synagogues, that connects and empowers Jewish teens through meaningful opportunities for relevant learning, personal growth, relationship building, and social action. J-LOFT is open to all teens in grades 8-12, regardless of temple affiliation. J-LOFT provides Jewish students in the MetroWest area with opportunities to participate in a variety of classes, courses, and programs, offered by a team of local clergy members and educators. In addition, J-LOFT hosts a program-wide gathering one Sunday a month, which is more social in nature, giving space for all our teens to get together as one community.

Join us for a discussion with Ernesto Rivera. Ernesto’s journey back to the ways of his forefathers started in 2007, after hearing many stories from the family about being Jewish and the different traditions the family practiced. This journey has been exciting and sometimes challenging due to the lack of knowledge about the Anusim or Conversos from the greater Jewish Community. -
