H.U.B. Leadership

H.U.B. stands for the Hebrew Hadracha U’kehillah v’Bina (Leadership-Community-Wisdom) and serves as our “hub” for teen learning and engagement for grades 7th–12th. Teens in H.U.B. are engaged in this three-pronged approach in continuing their Jewish journey at Temple Sinai. Through several opportunities offered, teens can take advantage of opportunities that allow them to step into leadership roles and build real skills for the future. Teens can participate as Madrichim, helping in our Noar program with students each Sunday, or join teen leadership boards to plan events for peers with our youth group.

(Grades 7 & 8)
Madrichim in Training (MIT) is an experience open to all 7th through 8th graders. These grade-level cohorts meet throughout the year to build community and develop leadership skills as they serve as role models in Noar classrooms. From forming relationships grounded in social emotional awareness to running carpool, MITs are an integral part of the Noar program where they gain experience in and out of the classroom.

(Grades 9-12)
Junior and Senior Madrichim is an experience open to all 9th through 12th graders via an application process. These high school Madrichim learn to be future Jewish educators through assisting teachers with activities. In addition, they build relationships with students, especially children who need extra support. They participate in workshops once a semester for ongoing support. All high school Madrichim can receive community service hours for their work at Noar or opt into receiving compensation.

The H.U.B. 78 Council focuses on developing different, tangible, leadership skills that can be used in teens’ lives. Each skill is rooted in a Jewish value and will bridge Jewish learning with their real lives. Occurring once a month, middle schoolers will also get an opportunity to be more involved in the programming of their youth group events by helping to select the events and volunteering for a couple of roles at the event.

The purpose of H.U.B. 9–12 Teen Leadership Board is to create a meaningful, productive, and inclusive leadership structure and to provide teens opportunities to become well rounded leaders. H.U.B. Board applications come out once a year, and this board works together to create events, social media presence, Shabbat opportunities, the Camp Jenny Spaghetti Dinner, and more for high schoolers at Temple Sinai.
