Shelanu means "ours"- A community designed by Teens. We bring together teens from 6 synagogues in Cincinnati: Adath Israel, Northern Hills, Rockdale Temple, Temple Sholom, Valley Temple and Wise Temple. Rabbis from all synagogues teach at Shelanu in addition to a talented teaching staff. Together we stimulate and challenge teens as they begin their independent Jewish lives.

Shelanu empowers individual teen exploration and Jewish pathways Students will be inspired to:

• Think critically, creatively, and compassionately as active contributors to the local Jewish
• Community and caring citizens of the world.
• See Judaism as a lived and applied experience
• Respect and appreciate diversity and nuance
•
