Jewish Learning

On this page you will find Jewish educational programs and t'filot (worship services) that were created for NFTY events by NFTYites.  Jewish learning is more than just torah study.  In this section you will find programs on topics ranging from Ant-Semitism to Jewish Ethics to tips for getting along with your parents.

We encourage you to use these t'filot as guides while writing your own. Be sure to check out the resources on religious and cultural section of the NFTY website to find more information about writing t'filot.
