F.A.N.
Looking to enjoy yourself and have some good, healthy fun? Become a Batya FAN at our Fun Activity Nights!
Cooking, baking, crafts, trips, pizza parties, charity events, community volunteering, and so much more! Whatever your talents are, you’ll find something you enjoy at FAN. We play games, learn songs and explore Jewish holidays and traditions, having a great time through it all.
Study Buddy*
Want some stimulating Jewish learning with a party atmosphere at the same time? At our very popular Study Buddy program, Batya girls pair up with an older study partner, mentor and friend to learn about any Jewish topic of interest in a comfortable setting, with fun, food and friends. Study Buddy includes supper, hanging out and about an hour of 1:1 learning.
Use the opportunity to expand your horizons in Jewish knowledge and develop a close, personal relationship with your study partner.
LTI – Leadership Training Initiative
Develop your leadership skills, do your part to help others, and practice your own Hebrew reading skills, while having a great time at LTI.
Our LTI volunteers assist at the local Hebrew School with tutoring, testing, babysitting, office work, classroom assistance, and more. Besides for the mitzvah, the community volunteer hours to use for school, and the fun, you will earn credits for each half hour worked and receive a certificate of completion at the end of the program.
Volunteers are also treated to special lunches, leadership activities and workshops, and trips!!
F.A.T.E. – Furthering and Advancing our Torah Education*
Fate or Faith: Why am I Jewish?
Looking to commit yourself to a formal steady class to further advance your Jewish education? Sign up to become a member of our exclusive learning program – F.A.T.E. For a minimal tuition, you can join us each week for an interesting, interactive class led by an experienced teacher/mentor. And of course, supper will be served!!
TorahBucks@StarBucks
When looking for a change in scenery, Batya girls meet at Starbucks for a relaxing discussion group with drinks on the house for members. Together we explore and discover our Jewish heritage while the moms enjoy a simultaneous adult track on the other side of the store.
ShabBatyas
Ask any of the Batya girls about their most memorable and inspirational Shabbos experiences and they’ll surely point to ShabBatya. At Batya Shabbatons, you’ll get a real taste of the sublime beauty of our Day of Rest, while having tons of fun, food and games! Batya girls also love to go individually or in small groups to the homes of Batya Reps for a quiet, homey Shabbos experience.
Trips
What do ice skating, bowling, skiing, laser tag, the beach, Baltimore, snow tubing, Niagara Falls, and Washington D.C. have in common? Along with many other places, they are all places Batya has been to! So come along and enjoy the ride! Have some fun on our next Batya excursion! Batya has both day and overnight trips throughout the year. And of course, it’s not what we do; but who we do it with!
BTC – Batya Teen Center
Come check out our favorite place: the Batya Teen Center in Marlboro, NJ. Hang out and enjoy our space with your friends.
Have fun in our game room, do your homework or just chill in our own cozy place. Lots of food, fun games, air hockey, pool, ping-pong, trampoline, and more! We’ll even surprise you with random entertainment and fun activities on some weeks!
Batya programs and schedules vary in each location to suit the needs of each community. Contact your local branch coordinator to find out what you can join near you!
