Federation of Zionist Youth
The Federation of Zionist Youth (FZY) is Britain's oldest Jewish, Zionist, pluralist youth movement, founded in 1910.[1] It is affiliated with Young Judaea in the United States and the Hebrew Scouts movement in Israel. It runs weekly activities, political campaigns, year-long programmes and summer programmes for hundreds of young British Jews.
Ideologically, FZY's vision statement is: "The Jewish People, living in peace in the State of Israel as One Nation and as a Light Unto the Nations."
FZY's Jewish, Zionist, pluralist ideology is committed to four aims:
- Tarbut – Jewish culture
- Tzedaka – values of charity and righteousness
- Magen – defence of Jewish rights
- Aliyah nimshechet – moving to Israel and continuing to do good for the state
FZY centenary year
In 2009/2010 FZY celebrated 100 years since its founding. To commemorate its centenary year it chose a new logo[2] and organised a number of celebratory events.
