1. Wacky Wednesdays are every Wednesday (with the exception of Yom Tov) where we just snack and relax every other week and do a structured program on the other weeks, such as Sukkah building, Israel Elections, tzedakah box making, Tu B'shevat Seder, self defense workshop, Dreidel Competition, Sweetheart party, Israeli food making, TO Auctions, Teen Leadership Workshop, Teen Drinking and Drugs/Driving Workshop, etc.
2. Whirlyball is a fun program that we enjoy doing at the beginning of the year and tends to be popular enough to bring out larger numbers in attendance.
