NFTY-TUCSON IS BACK IN FULL SWING FOR SPRING!
Congregation Chaverim, Congregation Or Chadash and Temple Emanu-El are teaming up to get Tucson’s Reform youth movement back in full swing.
Starting in January, there will be at least two events monthly, including homework hangouts every second and fourth Wednesday of the month. January 10th and 24th we’ll meet from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m. at the Starbucks on University Blvd. Also, our kick-off event is Sunday, January 21st. More information to follow.

Social Action Weekend is January 12th–15th in Phoenix giving students an opportunity to meet other high schoolers from Phoenix, El Paso, and Las Vegas. Be on the lookout for flyers about events, and announcements in The New Light.

If you are interested in the weekend or in learning more about NFTY-Tucson, contact Anna Schwarz, Tucson Youth Director, at NFTY-Tucson@hotmail.com. I look forward to meeting you all. Please feel free to email me with any questions.

The North American Temple Youth (NFTY) is the youth movement of the Union for Reform Judaism. NFTY-Tucson is a great way for high schoolers to get involved with the Jewish community in Tucson and the Southwestern region.
