What is CABIT?

CABIT stands for CABI Teens. We are the oldest age group in the synagogue's religious school. We welcome teens from post-b'nai mitzvah age/7th grade through 12th grade. CABITs manage our own membership and events. 

CABIT welcomes anyone from grades 7-12. The teen group prides itself on being very receptive and welcoming of anyone who wishes to join.  

If you’re interested in registering, or checking out a program, contact our teen advisors, Rachel and Ben Piscette, at teens@cabi-boise.org

What is NFTY?

NFTY is the URJ's teen organization which brings together Jewish youth from around the US and Canada for fun events uniting them by region. NFTY participants meet periodically throughout the year at regional events where they do and learn Jewish and make life-long friends, friends who become second family. NFTY-NW is made up of teens from Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Alaska, and British Columbia. 

"My first event, Spring Kallah 2017 was terrifying. I only knew kids from CABIT, which happened to be a mere 12 kids out of the almost 200 there. It took me awhile, but I eventually found a friend from Camp Kalsman who introduced me to some other people. Now, I talk to those people at least once a week, and we're all super excited to see each other at LTI and Fall Kallah. The people I've met through NFTY have become some of my best friends. NFTY is not just a huge youth group; it's a place to find your Jewish identity and new friends from around the region." (R. Metzgar)
