Madrichim - 9th-12th grade

All teens applying to be Madrichim are required to complete the Madrichim application.  Placements will be made based on a combination of teen requests, teacher and classroom needs, space consideration and scheduling needs. Priority will be given to teens who are returning, older and able to commit to consistent attendance. Madrichim are expected to uphold excellent attendance and communication about absences, and to attend all scheduled training workshops (approx 4-5 per year).

I like being around children and want to give back to the Bet Torah community.

I have been working with the gan kids for two years now and I love it. They look up to me and learn how to behave properly and so much more. It’s like I’m their second mom! I love growing a stronger relationship with them! Also, the kids love me and all they want to do is climb all over me and that’s what I love!

I love being able to accompany kids on their journey of finding their Jewish Identity.

I really love not only being connected to the kids, but being connected to the kids in the Bet Torah community. I really love helping them with everything from learning Hebrew to making puzzles and all that is in between. In the end, I really love doing this not only to be connected with the kids but to hopefully act as a mentor for them.

I love learning and speaking Hebrew. It comes very naturally to me. Preparing for my bat mitzvah was so much fun, and I would like to share my love for Judaism by helping kids with their Hebrew and Torah studies.

I'd like to help others while I continue my Jewish journey.
