Sunday School. Hebrew School. Religious School.

For more than two hundred years, the word used to describe our efforts to give children the priceless gift of Jewish community, tradition, and values has been one more commonly associated with tests, blackboards, and homework. Maybe it’s time to change that.

At the Center for Youth Engagement (CYE), we believe that Judaism should be an exciting, vibrant, and uplifting experience for children and parents, one that engages body and mind in exploring our living traditions, community, and values. It should be fun. It should be meaningful. And it should meet your family’s needs and schedule:

  • Searching for a way to discover and share the joys of Judaism alongside your children in an inspiring communal setting led by passionate rabbis, cantors, and educators? Look no further.
  • Searching for experiences that will thrill your child with the joys of Judaism in a summer camp environment that uses fun adventures to teach children Jewish values? You’re in the right place. 
  • Searching for opportunities to immerse your child in rigorous learning experiences that teach them Jewish traditions, values, and perspectives? We’ve got you covered.
  • Searching for enriching social opportunities where children can mingle with other Jewish children their age? You’ve found it.
  • Searching for the most exciting, loving Winter, Spring and Summer Jewish Day Camp in Los Angeles? We’re here.

Regardless of your needs, CYE will be your partner in raising Jewish children for the 21st Century.
Talk to us about how you can give your child the gift of Judaism today.

B’Shalom u’B’Ahavah,
Rabbi Josh
Director of the Center for Youth Engagement
