Shore Thing starts the year running
Shore Thing, NSTE's young adult program (ages 18 to late 30s) ...
... offers a variety of ways to stay connected to Judaism and create meaningful community friendships. Many activities are divided into three specific age/stage groups:
- Gen x (mostly couples and mature singles in their 30s)
- Gen y (mostly singles and a few couples in their 20s)
- Gen i (uni students and school leavers)
We hope you find something of interest, but if not, contact Janet and/or the Shore Thing committee to get involved and help create the space you wish to see!

"Participate with Meaning and Confidence" - new monthly young adult educational course starts March 1st, 7.30-9pm
Once a month teachers and presenters will provide information and tips on Jewish topics, to help young adults develop skills to participate in synagogue and home Jewish celebrations with meaning and confidence. At the end of this TEN module course, individuals may choose to study with a private teacher in order to learn how to read from the Torah, and achieve the milestone of an adult bar/bat mitzvah. This course has been designed at the request of a group of young adults in the community, and we hope that you will consider joining them.
