TIKY is the youth group of Temple
Tikvah. It consists of a senior youth
group for students in Grades 9-12
and a junior youth group for students
in Grades 5-8. TIKY is a part of NFTY
(North American Federation of Temple
Youth), our national Reform Jewish youth
movement, and NFTY-NAR (NFTY-New
York Area Region), our regional Reform
Jewish youth movement. Examples of
past TIKY events have included overnight
shul-ins, a car wash, laser tag, a tag-football
game, bowling, a TIKY-led Shabbat service
for the congregation, an inter-faith dialogue
with a local Muslim youth group, our annual
trip to Six Flags, and more. We invite all
students in grades 5-12 to join us!

TIKY’s goals:
-to build friendship and community
-to build strong Reform Jewish identities
-to provide leadership opportunities

 social justice opportunities within a Jewish
 context

groupers who create, promote, and run all
of TIKY’s events, programs, and services.
