TEL Program

Our BAS teens have incredible opportunities to join teens from 10 other Reconstructionist congregations on the east coast through the TEL Program. The TEL (Teens: Experience and Learning) Program includes the following components:

October 14-16, 2011: TEL Fall Kallah (retreat) for grades 8-11:
BAS teens had an amazing time socializing with ~70 Reconstructionist teens from the east cost, celebrating Shabbat and Sukkot together, participating in values discussions and enjoying free time.  BAS Education Director Abby Reiken accompanied the BAS teens for this retreat at Camp JRF in Pennsylvania.  At this retreat the teens were introduced to the TEL theme of the year: Derech Eretz (being a mensch). 

October 2011 through April 2012: 8th graders explore the theme of Derech Eretz on Monday nights during Dor Hahemshech.

April 27-29,  TEL Spring Kallah (retreat) for grades 8-11: Teens will get together to socialize, celebrate Shabbat, and share their Derech Eretz projects.
