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:
