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 as a snif (branch) of Netzer Olami, the worldwide Progressive Jewish youth movement based on Jerusalem, the promise and importance of Israel resonates with NFTY teens.
