TREATY welcomes you to our one of a kind webpage! Over the past 2 years, TREATY has regained its strength and  rebuilt the Junior & Senior Youth Groups to the strong and devoted organizations which they are today!

Some TREATY Vocabulary
  • TREATY = Temple David/Three Rivers Eastern Area Temple Youth:)
    • Junior Youth Group = Grades 3-7
    • Senior Youth Group = Grades 8-12
  • PREM = Collaborative of all Pittsburgh Reform Temple Youth Groups!
    • TYG = Temple Youth Group
    • There are 6 TYGs involved in PERM (TREATY– Temple David, PARTY – Temple Sinai, THERSTY – Rodef Shalom, WHY – Temple Emanuel Israel, OY – Ohav Shalom,  & J-TEAM – Temple Emanuel).
  • NFTY-PAR = North American Federation of Temple Youth – Pennsylvania Area Region (All of Pennsylvania + Southern New Jersey).
    • There are 5 official Regional events each year: Haggigah-Maccabiah, SLK (Summer Leadership Kallah), Fall Kallah, WINSTY (Winter Institute), & Spring Kallah. All events except WINSTY are held at URJ Camp Harlam in the Poconos of Pennsylvania.  This is different for WINSTY which is hosted by one of the Synagogues within the PAR Region.
    • NFTY-PAR Regional Board = The true leaders of the region whom are elected during Elections (during March).  There are 7 Regional Board Positions which prove very prestigious and rewarding.
    • You can learn more about our Region by visiting their website: www.nfty.org/par 🙂

    • Approximately 30 participants from all of the Pittsburgh Reform TYGs spent the night at Temple David and participated in a youth-led service, mixers, and TREATY’s first program!! The next morning we volunteered at Produce to People located in Braddock and Bethlehem Haven! It was a wonderful event and the social action really shone through!
    • TREATY’s FLASHBACK DANCE!
      • TREATY just began their now-annual Flashback Dance 2 years ago.  We invite all Temple David adults to come dressed in their favorite decade & enjoy a relaxing evening of fun and dance!
