The Betar Zionist Youth Movement
Bnei Akiva Chazit
Hanoar Federation of
Zionist Youth 
The B’nai B’rith Youth Organization (BBYO) is a youth led, worldwide
organization which provides opportunities for Jewish youth to develop their leadership
potential, a positive Jewish identity and commitment to their personal development. BBYO
provides Jewish living and learning experiences for Jewish teenagers. Programs include
holiday celebrations, religious services, inter-faith activities, institutes and seminars,
music and dramatics, speech contests and athletic contests.
The aim of Betar is simply stated: to create that type of Jew which the nation
needs in order better and more quickly to build a Jewish State. In other words, to create
a "normal," healthy citizen for the Jewish nation.
Bnei Akiva is dedicated to bringing Torah Va'Avodah Religious Zionism to North
America. Through short and long-term Israel programs, shabbatonim and Moshava camps, Bnei
Akiva brings the message of Am Yisrael b'Eretz Yisrael al pi Torat Yisrael.
Chazit HaNoar is a Jewish Zionist Educational Youth Movement, non-affiliated to
any political party. We are a group of Jewish young people interested in
transmitting jewish and zionist traditions to our chanichim. We have weekly
activities in our house, which belongs to CIP (Congregacao Israelita Paulista). With
these activities we intend to educate in a fun and informal way.
FZY is unique in its belief in religious and political pluralism. This means that
whatever form of Judaism you believe in and practice, whether you are a Reform, Orthodox,
Masorti or Secular Jew, you have a place in FZY. At recent FZY events it has become
practice to hold four different Shabbat services in order to accommodate the vast spectrum
of Jewish observances we attract. FZY is not aligned to any specific political or
religious body and consequently, it is our own members strong individual views and
beliefs, covering a wide spectrum, which direct the movement. This leads to a tnua
(movement) with a potentially high chinuch (education) level as it is members’
different beliefs which lead to an all-round education without any bias in a certain
direction - a situation virtually unique in todays youth movements. Nobody is excluded for
their beliefs. By being pluralistic, FZY allows free expression and open beliefs to all
its members, giving them a broad-based education, and FZY a strong and unique character of
its own.
Habonim Dror 
Habonim Dror, which is affiliated with the United Kibbutz Movement (TAKAM),
currently works in about 22 countries with over 10,000 members. It identifies
ideologically with Labour Zionism and its members come from homes ranging from the secular
to the modern orthodox. The movement's social outlook calls for responsibility towards
one's fellow man and woman, a desire for social justice both in the Diaspora and in Israel
and a Jewish identity based on the moral values of the Jewish prophetic vision. The
movement has always called on its members to make Aliyah and has founded kibbutzim and
sent its members to join established kibbutzim where they can put the Socialism which the
movement teaches into practice.
