Kadima (youth group)
Kadima (Hebrew: קדימה, literally "forward") is a youth group affiliated with the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism (USCJ), specifically aimed at Jewish preteens living in North America in Grades 6-8. Every USCJ-affiliated synagogue is entitled to a Kadima chapter.
Kadima serves as a "feeder" into United Synagogue Youth (USY), the primary USCJ youth group, aimed at Jewish high-school-aged youth.
Kadima may have been founded by Rabbi Leon S. Lang at Oheb Shalom Congregation in Newark, NJ between 1927 and 1939.[1]
