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 advisor, Gary Kroot.  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, Sarah Horn, currently serves as NFTY/PAR President, and another one of our students, Gadi Paskoff, currently serves as Western Vice President. One of our graduates, Amanda Selfon Wachstein, is the regional NFTY/PAR advisor.
