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.

"FZY" redirects here. For the airport, see Oswego County Airport.

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 – defense of Jewish rights
  • Aliyah nimshechet – moving to Israel and continuing to do good for the state
