NFTY in Israel

For more than 75 years, the Union for Reform Judaism has provided young people with immersive Jewish experiences in North America and around the world, instilling a sense of joy, compassion, and pride in being Jewish while nurturing our youth’s innate desire to make a difference in the world. The URJ’s youth programs engage more than 20,000 youth, teens, and young adults each year. 

NFTY in Israel, a flagship program of the Union for Reform Judaism, provides transformative teen trips to Israel for over 500 teens each summer. Teens hike, climb, discover, and explore with new friends from across North America. They learn about the many diverse communities living in Israel and engage in hands-on social justice work and learning. They return home with endless personal accomplishments, meaningful memories, and stories they'll never forget.
