College Connection
Keeping our college kids connected
At Congregation Or Atid, our goal is to continue to engage with our Youth once they leave the nest and go off to college. We want our students to know that Or Atid provides a place for them to turn and return to.
What we do
Or Atid parents of college-age children will gather together at different times during the year to assemble student packages. Parents can also share their children's college-age experiences and concerns so we can support each other!
Packages sent will have a message from the Rabbi and may include synagogue news, novelties, timely articles, jewish humor and special treats with a holiday theme such as during Rosh Hashanah, Chanukkah and Passover.
A fun, relaxed gathering will be planned during a typical college vacation break (most likely January) for our students to re-connect with their old classmates and Or Atid friends.
We'll also have a College Connection Directory with our students' contact info so they can keep in touch with each other - and for our community to stay in touch with them.
(For our High School graduates, an Or Atid celebration will be planned for the Spring to show them our appreciation and support for the next phase in their lives).
How to sign up
Submit your student's college address and e-mail by filling out this form We'll re-confirm your child’s address and e-mail annually. If your student is studying abroad, we'll make sure to keep in touch by email.
$36 per student helps to defray the cost of materials and shipping and is greatly appreciated. Additional donations are always welcome. Donations should be sent to the synagogue office, checks payable to Congregation Or Atid memo line: College Connection.
