    Resolution to Form UNITY (Unaffiliated Independent Temple Youth) In NFTY Chicago Area Region Submitted to the NFTY CAR Regional Board Winter Kallah 5777 December 17th, 2016 Background: The North American Federation of Temple Youth, or NFTY, founded in 1939, ​ currently has nineteen regions formed by over 800 TYGs, or Temple Youth Groups. ● In 1939 NFTY was founded as part of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations (UAHC), now the Union for Reform Judaism (URJ). ● In the past, TYG’s have been groups of teens from a synagogue and NFTY has served as the regional conglomerate of these entities. ● During an asefah, or plenary meeting, or during regional events, members of TYG’s vote on legislation and elect regional board members as a voting block allocated a certain number of votes based on representation. ● In recent years, as NFTY has expanded to include all Jewish youth who want a Reform Jewish experience, there has been an increase in the number of unaffiliated youth who do not receives these voting options and all privileges that may result from representation, because their families do not formally affiliate with a youth group or reform synagogue for a multitude of rationales. WHEREAS, The Preamble of the NFTY-CAR Constitution outlines the principles of the North ​ American Federation of Temple Youth; and WHEREAS, The Preamble of the NFTY-CAR Constitution states that one of these purposes is ​ “the need for k’hilah as a binding force for all Jews”; and ​ ​ WHEREAS, Article 2 of the NFTY-CAR Constitution outlines the purposes of this

Our community helps families of Jewish preschoolers choose a “next Jewish step,” such as our congregational school, known as the Jewish Learning Center (“JLC”), or nearby Solomon Schechter. We encourage our children to continue to the next step seamlessly, from preschool to Jewish educational program in Kindergarten, where children discover the meaning of Jewish identity as they explore and engage with the values, history, language, beliefs and rituals of the Jewish people. In our JLC, we use all our opportunities to engage our students; learning occurs in the classroom, the sanctuary, the music room, on field trips and in many family-oriented activities throughout the year. Our younger children attend every Sunday morning while our older students learn Sundays and Wednesdays. STOM, our post Bnei Mitzvah/Hebrew High School/USY, meet Wednesday evenings. This year, we take pride in introducing a family service called Hinei Ma Tov, monthly (see calendar for details) and a Tot Shabbat twice a month. Experiential learning is central to our curriculum. Prayer and the study of text are woven into our curriculum. On Sundays and Wednesdays, students assemble to pray, daven, for Shaharit, the morning service, and Mincha, the afternoon service, where they learn basic synagogue skills and gain comfort in the service.

  • Israel in the Synagogue Dr. Samuel Heilman, Professor of Jewish Studies and Sociology, City University of New York
    Israel in the Synagogue Dr. Samuel Heilman, Professor of Jewish Studies and Sociology, City University of New York Israel in Our Lives is a project sponsored by The CRB Foundation, The Joint Authority for Jewish Zionist Education Department of Jewish Education and Culture in the Diaspora, and The Charles R. Bronfman Centre for the Israel Experience: Mifgashim. In cooperation with Jewish Education Service of North America and Israel Experience, Inc. Israel In Our Lives Online was funded in part through a generous grant from the Joint Program for Jewish Education of the Jewish Agency for Israel and the Ministry of Education and Culture of the State of Israel. The editors would like to thank all the authors, advisors, and consultants of the Israel In Our Lives series— educational leaders who have brought their considerable insights and talents to bear on this project. In addition to those already mentioned in these pages, we extend our appreciation to those who helped in shaping the project concept: Dr. Zvi Bekerman, Gidon Elad, Dr. Cecile Jordan, Rachel Korazim, Clive Lessem, Caren Levine, Dr. Zev Mankowitz, Dr. Eliezer Marcus, & Susan Rodenstein. Part 1 While no one would suggest that the synagogue and Israel are duplicates of one another - and indeed the differences between them are legion - they have in this generation increasingly represented (especially for North American Jewry) two important, parallel symbols of Jewish identity. This is because both are special "places" in which being a Jew constitutes an essential pre-requisite, perhaps even a sine qua non, for affiliation. Additionally, both are places where one expects to find Jews in the overwhelming majority and in charge, where Jewish concerns are paramount, and where Hebrew is spoken.
