YOUTH DEPARTMENT
About Hillcrest Youth
The Hillcrest Community Youth Department serves all youth in our Hillcrest Community and adjoining neighborhoods.
We are affiliated with other Orthodox Jewish synagogues in the area, including The Young Israel of Hillcrest, Torah Center of Hillcrest, Utopia Torah Center and more.
Our goal is to provide the children with fun activities that comply with Torah standards and to help instill in them a love of G-d and Judaism.
