Our family, our friends, our spirit.
“Let the Good in me connect with the good in others, until the world is transformed through the compelling power of love.” – Rabbi Nachman of Breslov
More than Services
Having a strong, supportive, active Jewish community is one of our goals as a congregation. In today's world where individualism thrives - we yearn to bring back our tribal nature. Fostering bonds among our Jewish Teen population, creating fun events for smaller children to play together, being active in social justice as a community to lift the world up - not to forget our Sisterhood and Brotherhood who are the glue that keeps our community together. Each and every member of our community is invaluable, a brilliant light in the world.
Teen Youth Programs
Lev Shalom Temple Youth (LeVTY) is a youth group organization for all Northern Arizona Jewish teens in the 8th-12th grades. The group meets for the purposes of educational, religious, social, and community activities. Lev Shalom Temple Youth is associated with the North American Federation of Temple Youth (NFTY) and is part of NFTY-SW (Southwest region)
​
Advisors plan monthly local events that give our teens a safe and fun way to get together with their Jewish friends and to make new ones. Events are often hosted at the homes of our members.
​
NFTY-SW regional events provides our teenagers with an opportunity to interact with Jewish teens throughout the Southwest, from El Paso, New Mexico, Arizona, and Southern Nevada.

We strongly encourage all teens to take an active part in our youth group. For more information, please contact info@levshalomaz.org
