What do all these people have in common????
They're Jewish and they're proud.

Woobury J.C. is proud of our Jewish Youth Groups. You can still join us! Our youth group - grades 8 through 12 (USY). All of our groups meet weekly.

USY is an international youth groups which also have events outside the synagogue such as dances, kinnusim (weekend retreats for USY), shabbatonim (weekend retreats for Kadima), trips, sports events, interchapter events and much, much more. We're here to bring exciting, fun-filled programs to you. But we can't do it alone...

USY is not just meetings in the temple…it is so much more! It is an opportunity to take a break from school and home. We combine with other united youth on Long Island for bowling, dancing, and partying. We will go on conventions and have events with high school students from all over New York. Each year there are International Conventions where you have the opportunity to meet others from all over the country. USY has camps such as teen travel, which go across the United States and opportunities to explore areas throughout the world! So come out to a meeting and see how great this year will be.


I cannot believe the year for USY is winding down. It is June, and what an amazing year it has been. So many activities, so many games, and so many new friends.

I would like to take the time to say thank you to all the great teens: Jordan Cohen, Brett Augenstein, Genna Sinel, Joey Bernowitz, Alan Klipper, Daniel Cohen, Josh Schwartz, Philip Schwartzman, Chase Rozenberg, Effie Adler, Mahyar Hassid, Heidi Smolevitz, and Marc Weber. I especially want to say good luck to Samantha Vinokor and Rachel Lipton on their beginnings into college next fall. Also, I would like to express huge gratitude to everyone at the WJC who have helped me this year: Rabbi Adler, Laury Weber, Mark Fierstein, Linda Altman, Silvia Padron, Nina Hoenig, Randi Sinel, and Dr. Meisel.

I would love to take the opportunity to get to know all of you better. Feel free to contact me at 631.495.4386 or email me.

Shalom,
Shanna Augenstein
WJC USY Director
