About
What is JAZY?
JAZY is Adelaide's only Jewish youth movement that exists to enable every Jewish child in Adelaide the opportunity to attend a completely pluralist movement. JAZY has three main values;
1. Educating our chanich about all streams of Judaism and Zionism so that they can have a better understanding of their Jewish world as well as allowing them to develop the means to communicate with everybody in the Jewish community. We also value educating our chanich about Israel and Tikkun Olam as well as political and world issues to equip them with the knowledge and abilities they need to be global citizens.
2. Connecting the small group of Adelaide's Jewish youth with one another, and with the greater Jewish youth movement community. Providing our chanich with these opportunities to connect and relate to one another's experiences and more importantly, to form lifelong friendships is very important.
3. Equipping our chanich with the tools and supports they need to form their own Jewish identities.
To practice these values we run monthly programs, sleepovers, outreach's and a winter camp, encouraging our chanich to participate in other youth movements summer camps.
