Temple Akiba Senior Temple Youth or T.A.S.T.Y. are Youth Programs that are offered during the school year. These programs are offered to members and non-members from TK through 12th grade.
Temple Akiba youth groups enable our students to work together, build character and confidence, and develop their individual potential in an exciting format. Youth programs offer age-appropriate opportunities such as trips, sports, social action, games, art, drama, music and free discussion. Our youth have participated in bowling, rock-climbing, go-karting, ice-skating, hiking, color-me-mine, virtual reality, escape rooms, mini-golfing, beach days, movie nights and so much more!
TASTY is divided into groups by grade and monthly events are geared towards each group’s needs.
