LEFTY Youth Group

LEFTY (Lincoln Street Federation of Temple Youth) is Temple Isaiah's adolescent youth group serving teens in Grades 8-12. LEFTY's main goal is to provide a space for Jewish youth to meet, develop friendships, and grow socially and as Jews.

LEFTY is part of NFTY-NE, the Northeast Region of the North American Federation of Temple Youth, which consists of approximately 70 youth groups. NFTY-NE holds regional events throughout the year that meet the social, educational, and spiritual needs of its members. Interested teens in Grades 9-12 can learn more about NFTY-NE on nfty.org.

It is extremely difficult to put down on paper the vibrant spirit of LEFTY. We are fortunate enough to have a community in which all members are fully welcome and feel they can play an important role. LEFTY is entirely teen-run under adult guidance and support. LEFTY strives to reach out to all adolescents in the Temple Isaiah and greater communities, and our members are an enthusiastic, caring, friendly, and welcoming group.

Most LEFTY events are held on weekends, with planning meetings held during the week.
