NCSYThe Highland Park chapter of NCSY (National Conference of Synagogue Youth) is sponsored by three local congregations: Ahavas Achim, Ohav Emeth, and Ohr Torah. The three synagogues share all the costs and responsibilities of the chapter. A joint inter-shul committee, comprised of two representatives from each shul, is responsible for hiring and supervising the advisors, as well as serving as liaisons between the organization and the community. All Jewish children in our community are welcome to participate, regardless of synagogue affiliation. The joint inter-shul committee members welcome parent suggestions to help insure the success of NCSY activities. The committee representatives are:
