Jewish Teen Vibe in its second year, is TBT's teen experience. "JTV" or Jewish Teen Vibe has been created working with parents and students as a new program for our post-Bnai Mitzvah students. JTV is not your average Hebrew High School program. Each student has the opportunity to create a schedule that is best for him or her by choosing activities that are of interest. JTV perfect for volunteering in the religious school, being a leader of Mission: Mitzvah, or studying with the rabbis. It's your choice! Registration will be avaliable in August. If you have any questions, please contact Jodi Mishkin at tembty@yahoo.com or (516)413-5122.

TBT Gift Card Program
To help fundraising, TBT is introducing gift cards. By purchasing gift cards for a multitude of stores, in different denominations, you will be helping us raise funds to offset the costs of many programs and services. Every family will be sent a list of 100 local stores, movies and restaurants that offer the gift cards. The gift cards can be ordered from the web site, by fax (631/643-3011) or by emailing the office at giftcards@tbtny.org. Forms can be picked up at the office. You may pay by check (for any amount) or by credit card ($200 and more). You can accumulate your mileage or points and TBT earns money by the sale of the gift cards.
