Rabbi Mimran acts as the NCSY Community Director of Charleston. Dor Tikvah is affiliated with the Southern NCSY Youth program.

We fund and run JSU (Jewish Student Union) clubs at Academic Magnet, Porter-Gaud Middle School, and Porter-Gaud Upper School (as part of Jewish Life).

We also host recurring Shabbatons at Dor Tikvah for Middle School and High School students. We are very grateful to be beneficiaries of the Shevet Glaubach Fellowship Program and its advisors who visit for these Shabbatons.

ABOUT
