[2] [3]

Dear friends,

It is with great pride that we present to you the Young Israel of Teaneck Program Guide for 5780. As our community has grown in numbers over the years, we are proud that our programming has as well. We have gathered all of our programming in one place to give you a sense of all that is taking place on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis at the Young Israel of Teaneck.

At YIOT, it is our goal to provide meaningful opportunities for spiritual and personal growth for all of our members: children, teens, and adults. And because we have a diverse membership, our goal is always to provide a wide array of programming that speaks to the passions and interests of all our members.

All of the programs you see in this brochure are run by individuals or committees, all of which are lay-led, and we want to take this opportunity to thank all of those who have invested their time and energy to make these programs come to life. It is all of you who make YIOT the warm, vibrant, growth-oriented community we all love.

We look forward to an amazing 5780, which we hope will be a year of growth and success together as a community.

B’vracha,

BENI KROHNRabbi
