Fairmount Temple's Young People's Congregation (YPC) is an active and vital
group of young
adults, in their twenties and thirties. We
are singles, couples, and young families.
YPC strives to enrich the study, understanding and practice of liberal
Judaism in an atmosphere of friendship and fellowship to assist all members in
leading a meaningful Jewish life. Whether you attend a family social event, attend any of the variety of worship
services, or volunteer to help the needy through social action
opportunities, YPC offers everyone a chance to get involved. YPC programs appeal
to a variety of interests, giving everyone an opportunity to become involved.
Family Programs
- KIDushat Shabbat - A 45-minute Shabbat service
geared to young families with preschoolers. It's

introduce the next generation to the joy and celebration of Shabbat. This
service is on the fourth Friday of each month at 7:00 p.m.
- K'tonton Kraziness - This wonderful program, geared toward pre-schoolers,
brings Jewish learning to life through engaging activities and creative play.

park, YPC coordinates a variety of special programming encouraging family fun
and togetherness.
Young
Adult Chavurah - For Singles and Couples in their 20s and 30s
- Special programming - Throughout the year, a variety of programming
offer young adults the opportunity to get to know others, and oneself, better
-- from Torah study in one's home, to a karaoke night at a favorite
restaurant.
Social
Action
- Winter Toy Wrap - a yearly mitzvah in which we gather to wrap
holiday presents for children-in-need.
- Social Action - YPC supports and participates in a variety of programs
coordinated through Fairmount Temple's Social Action committee, including the
annual Mitzvah Day (click here for '05 wrap-up) and Harvest for Hunger. YPC has adopted the
Jewish Big
Brother Big Sister Association as a major focus of social action opportunities for
the year and invites Bigs and their Littles to be our guests at some YPC
events.
