Young Adults/Generation

Holy Blossom Temple recognizes how easy it is to drift away from synagogue life when you are in your 20s and 30s and busy with new jobs, new families and new responsibilities. Ours is a generation searching for meaning and attachment to Judaism. By and large, the traditional modes of Jewish life do not resonate with a new aesthetic and a new set of values. So, a certain creativity is required; today's synagogue leadership must 'think outside the box.'

A handful of Temple members in their 20s and 30s have helped us develop a program to reach out to our Generation Aleph members to invite them through the doors of our synagogue.

To RSVP for Mitzvah Projects, or for more details on Generation Aleph programs, please contact Roseanne Mason at rmason@holyblossom.org or (416) 789-3291, ext.276, or e-mail generationaleph@holyblossom.org.
