NFTY is the North American Federation of Temple Youth. Every couple of months there is a regional event where teens from around the tri-state area come together for a weekend, or week. There are usually 6 events per year for members. At each event one can expect there to be between 100 and 200 people. There are programs and then free time! You get to see all your jewish friends and hang out with them for the weekend. It is a lot of fun and recomended to everyone.
There are also plenty of NFTY summer programs and school programs. There is UMC (Urban Mitzvah Corps) where you do community service during the day and then have fun at night. You live in a frat house with 25 other teens. NFTY also has a summer program to Israel, where teens tour from Golan to the Negev and spend time in their group of 35 teens. There are URJ camps that have plenty of fun programs to do during the day like any NFTY program, it’s TONS OF FUN!
