There is a fantastic youth program led by Dov Ocken, covering all ages from 2 to post high school. The shul has weekly Shabbos youth groups and a very popular youth minyan with a weekly kiddush. In 2007, the shul established a "Women of the Round Table" organization (aka "sisterhood") which sponsors Rosh Chodesh shiurim and regular events during the year. The shul is in the midst of a building campaign, expanding its physical structure to meet the demand for activities, classes, and community needs.3
