NFTY-NAR TYGs

NFTY’s heart and soul is the local Union for Reform Judaism affiliated synagogue Temple Youth Group (TYG). While each local TYG differs in organization, focus, size, and character, the Temple Youth Group is the outlet for the highly engaged Reform Jewish teenager in a Union Synagogue. While some TYGs only meet 5 times a year for social programs, other TYG’s meet over 20 times each school year and offer a full variety of social, leadership, educational, and social action programs.

Here’s an example of what your TYG profile MIGHT look like:

TYG Name: MUTSY

Stands for: Made Up Temple Senior Youth

Temple Info: Made Up Temple, Nowheresville, NY

“Meet My TYG” Personal Info: [this example is much longer than is necessary]

MUTSY was created in 1906 when Made Up Temple’s high schoolers decided it’d be really cool to hang out together and be able to tell the future kids of NFTY-NAR (their great-grand children) all about our TYG in this nifty webpage. MUTSY includes boys and girls in 9th-12th grade, but we also spend time with our JYG, MUTJY. We have about 13 members and are proud to say that one of them has ventured out of made-up land to the real world. We often hold shul-ins, hang out nights, and trips called “MUTSY on the Town.” We also see each other every Thursday night at Hebrew school. Our mascot is named “MB,” short for “Make Believe,” and stays in our youth director, Sally’s office. Ever since 1985 we’ve had an annual sock-hop on February 29th. We are also holding a clothing drive for children in need. We don’t exist!
