Shaarai Shomayim Temple Youth

SSTY (Shaarai Shomayim Temple Youth) is our youth group for our high school students.  They enjoy planning and implementing their own programs along with SSTY adviser, Marcus Beto.  As members of SSTY, many of our kids participate in regional events through NFTY/PAR (North American Federation of Temple Youth/Pennsylvania Area Region).  We are very proud that one of our students, Kevin Rosenberg, currently serves as NFTY/PAR president, and one of our graduates, Amanda Selfon Wachstein, is the regional adviser.
