The FZY Journey

FZY offers a variety of different activities throughout the year for all of our members, from 14 years plus. For members from the ages of 14 to about 16 there are chavurot all over the country. These are societies, led by an elected committee of peers, who on Sunday evenings run educational and social activities. Most of these chavurot will take place in member's houses to create a family atmosphere. FZY has chavurot all over the country, from London to Glasgow.

The 16 - 18 year olds in FZY join the kedma programme. This is a variety of different courses that run throughout the year which meet on a weekly or fortnightly basis. These courses could be anything from leadership training, to ulpan (Hebrew classes), to a drama workshop. Members can pick and choose which of these courses interest them. A number of the kedma members also lead many of the chavurot.

Bogrim of the movement, those over the age of 18, engage in a variety of different activities and events, most based in the university centres which they attend. These are often led by themselves and include educational, social, and activism events. This may include inviting in a speaker; organising a quasar evening; or possibly embarking on a sponsored bike ride. The bogrim also lead our camps and our national seminars.

The elder members of FZY, generally post university age, are called Vatikim. Trips and events organised for them, for example a Poland trip or a quiz evening. Alternatively they could sit on a committee called Friends of FZY (FFZY) who raise money to fund bursaries for those members who cannot afford the costs of the programmes.
