    • Now is the time to show up, together.

      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
      We can no longer stand idly by in the face of oppression. We call upon NFTY and the reform Jewish community to voice their critique of Israel, for the sake of true, critical Zionism, and to push Israel back into the sight of our vision for a democratic, pluralistic Jewish state.

    • Be Your Own Advocate Like Esther: Consent

      on February 27, 2018
      The story of Purim found in the Book of Esther recounts acts of bravery committed by a member of a silenced and oppressed group of people.

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.

    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.

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
