NFTY is aВ MovementВ that builds strong, welcoming, inspiredВ communitiesВ throughВ teen-powered engagement. Together, we pursueВ tikkun olam,В personal growth,В youth empowerment, andВ deep connections, all rooted inВ Reform Judaism.
The Northeast region of NFTY serves Jewish Teens in Connecticut (excluding Fairfield County), Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, upstate New York and Montreal, Canada. We work in partnership withВ Union for Reform JudaismВ affiliated congregations to provide meaningful Jewish experiences for middle and high school students.
We are part of the family of Union for Reform Judaism camps and youth programs.В URJ YouthВ provides young people with immersive Jewish experiences in North America, and around the world, including camps, Israel trips and social action/service learning travel programs.
Our MovementВ was founded as the youth arm of Reform Judaism in 1939 at the urging ofВ Women of Reform JudaismВ (then known as the National Federation of Temple Sisterhoods).
With over 900 congregations and 1.5 million Jews,В Reform JudaismВ is the largest and most vibrant Jewish movement in all of North America.
