SMRTY (San Mateo Reform Temple Youth)
SMRTY Pants - is our high school youth group for grades 9-12. Affiliated with the North American Federation of Temple Youth (NFTY), this youth led organization keeps a very busy calendar.
Along with the 5 regional/national NFTY events, the 9 member youth board plans many local and community events. A few of our more outstanding events this year include the youth written and led Yom Kippur afternoon service, Central Park picnic and scavenger hunt, Chanukah Party, and trip with 8 SMRTY'ites to attend the National NFTY Convention in Los Angeles.
SMRTY Shorts—The SMRTY Shorts youth group is geared to 7th and 8th graders. Our activities focus on building our teen community, Tikkun Olam, leadership development and fun. We also participate in SMRTY Pants (grades 9-12) and NFTY events throughout the year, and invite all 7th and 8th graders to join in!
Jewish Stars—(grades 5 and 6) and Twinkling Lights (grades 3 and 4) offer events throughout the school year. Some of our favorites include bowling, ice skating, mini-golfing, pizza parties, game days and temple sleepovers.
All of our events are open to our temple members, and guests are welcomed with advanced permission from the Youth Group Advisors. Calendars are mailed regularly, and we would love to have you on our list. For more information, please call the temple at (650) 341-7701, or e-mail us at
