NFTY-SAR is the newest of 21 regions serving Reform Jewish
youth across North America. Our region is a part of the UAHC Southeast Council (SEC). Also a part of the SEC is our sister region: NFTY-STR, the Southern Tropical Region. Our region spans the Florida panhandle and also includes the states of Georgia, South Carolina, and Alabama. Also included are Chattanooga, TN and Charlotte, NC. Our regional temple youth group (TYG) membership is more than 450 participants. The overall purpose and values of NFTY are to instill Jewish identity, foster commitment to the ideas and values of Reform Judaism, and increase synagogue participation in high school youth. These purposes are pursued in a framework which emphasizes the development of personal and leadership skills in a wholesome, social, Jewish environment. |
