Jewish Youth Encounter Program
Mission Statement
The Jewish Youth Encounter Program is an independent Outreach
Hebrew School serving the Bergen County Jewish community. It welcomes
and respects diversity among Jews and embraces children on all levels.
The JYEP is for children in the third through seventh grades.
The mission of the JYEP is to:
Connect our youth through our Big Brother and Big Sister Mentoring
Program, providing an opportunity to learn Hebrew on a one on one basis
with a committed high school student who is trained and observed weekly.
Our Big Brothers and Big Sisters will inspire your children and instill in
them a positive sense of Judaism. The sharing of knowledge, activities,
celebrations and Shabbatons will remain with your children through their
lives. At the same time, your children will experience the history, traditions,
rituals and religion of our people taught through our young and exciting
staff.
Educate your children on the meaning and purpose of Jewish life. To
provide a unique academic and religious education through a hands-on
experiential program that engages your children and enriches their Jewish
identity.
Make Judaism come alive. It’s about preparing for the Bar and Bat
mitzvah and life as a member of the Jewish people. To deepen Jewish
identity and commitment to lifelong learning.
Embrace the entire family, welcoming them at our many inclusive family
programs, centered around the holidays, life-cycles and Jewish values
which help build lasting Jewish memories
