NFTY Supports Israel

NFTY has and continues to be supportive of the State of Israel:

Since NFTY's founding in 1939, Israel has been in the hearts and minds of its teen participants. Throughout our history - whether it be creating programs, rallying in support of Israel, making donations, or taking hundreds of teens to Israel each year - NFTY has stood by Israel in good times and in bad. As the youth branch of ARZA: The Association of Reform Zionists of America and our affiliation with Netzer Olami, the worldwide Progressive Jewish youth movement based on Jerusalem, the promise and importance of Israel resonates with NFTY teens. Learn more about the history of NFTY's commitment to Israel through our Israel timeline. We invite you to explore the Israel links and resources below.
