    • NFTY NAR: A Region That Stole My Heart

      on January 4, 2019

      on October 30, 2018
      As members of NFTY, we know so personally what it means to grow up in a synagogue. We’ve sung Oseh Shalom on a Friday night, swaying back and forth with our arms around new friends; we’ve danced at late-night Saturday night socials in temple social halls; we’ve slept curled up in sleeping bags at youth group shul-ins; we’ve read the Torah for the first time with shaky knees and wobbly voices at our home congregations.

      on August 13, 2018

    For the last day, when we think about social justi For the last day, when we think about social justice and civic engagement, we practice teshuvah, reflecting on what we have accomplished and what we have failed to accomplish, t’filah, praying for a better world, and tzedakah, doing justice work to make this year better than the last. Please submit a video, a photo with a caption, or a text blurb to tell us, using all three values of the days of awe, your plan for pursuing justice this year. Submissions should be shared in your Instagram stories with @officialnfty and @theracgram tagged on your post. Each video submission earns 1000 points, each photo submission earns 500 points, and each text submission earns 100 points for your region.
    Whether it’s how it is done or how it will be do Whether it’s how it is done or how it will be done, doing voter registration is important. Practice teshuvah and reflect on your voting journey (or lack thereof) by submitting a photo of you checking your voter registration and practice tzedakah by registering yourself and/or encouraging people in your life to register to vote, and submitting a photo once you or others in your circle are registered. Looking back on our past actions coupled with changing our current actions to meet our values is what this time is about. Submissions should be shared in your Instagram stories with @officialnfty and @theracgram tagged on your post. Each submission is 1000 points, and family and alumni count!
    T’filah, prayer, is a vital part of these ten da T’filah, prayer, is a vital part of these ten days, so please share what you think the world could look like if everyone who was eligible voted and/or if everyone was able to vote without barriers.

Each video submission earns 1000 points, each photo submission earns 500 points, and each text submission earns 100 points for your region. T’filah however, cannot be practiced alone.

    Civic engagement is about practicing what you prea Civic engagement is about practicing what you preach. We will be doing just that by getting together to get as many people registered to vote as we possibly can. Your challenge? Practice tzedakah by joining us to register to vote through a riveting scavenger hunt and bring as many people as possible with you. In this case, more people does not only mean more points, but also more power to make the changes we want to see in the world. Link in bio!! @theracgram
