Welcome to NFTY-GER, otherwise known as the North American Federation of Temple Youth - Garden Empire Region!  We are very excited that you have joined us at our online community.   We hope that by searching the pages of this site, you will gain a better understanding of what NFTY-GER has to offer Reform, Jewish, High School students across Central and Northern New Jersey and Central New York. 

NFTY-GER is one of nineteen regions across North America working towards enlightening and educating our participants in textual, historical, and spiritual Judaism as well as social action and social justice.  We also focus on enhancing leadership skills and social opportunities.  Eight times a year, at least 150 teens from over 40 congregations get together to study the values and stances of Reform Judaism and enjoy one another's company.

The leadership of NFTY-GER is always available to answer questions and provide useful resources.  We are here to assist in developing the youth programs at all of our local congregations.  Our hope of that you will use this site as a starting point for gathering resources and knowing about the many different opportunities, both regionally and nationally, that are available for our teens.
