The Melanie Ross Youth Center

The Melanie Ross Youth Center provides religious and recreational activities for children in nursery through eighth grade. Offering weekly Shabbat programs and special holiday-related events, the MRYC reinforces Torah values through fun and dynamic programming, and services a wide range of ages and interests. From our Shabbat morning groups to our Junior Congregation, the youth of Lincoln Square Synagogue can enjoy interactive, age-appropriate activities designed to prepare them for future years of religious observance. High school leaders, almost all of whom have grown up with MRYC, lead the Shabbat programming and participate in special events. Whether you are a member of Lincoln Square Synagogue or simply visiting us for Shabbat, we invite you to take part in the MRYC and learn why L.S.S. youth are among the best and brightest!

• The MRYC now has a monthly Parent-Teen Minyan in the Annex- Teens and parents come daven together followed by a hot kiddush. If you are interested in sponsoring a future kiddush, please contact the office.
• There will also be a once a month leader-in-training program (LIT) where teens entering 7th and 8th grade can become group leaders and help the other group leaders with the younger groups.
• LSS has a "Gan Shabbat" program that includes Shabbat stories & songs for toddlers 3 and under. It takes place from 10:45 to 11:45 in the Toddlers' room.
• The Youth department is forming an email list, to help keep you posted and updated on upcoming events. To join, email Shana at youth@lss.org.
