Federation of Zionist Youth
- Federation of Zionist Youth
The Federation of Zionist Youth (FZY) is a Zionist Jewish youth movement. Founded in 1910, it has grown to be one of the largest Jewish youth movements in the United Kingdom, and is affiliated with Young Judaea in the USA and the Hebrew Scouts movement in Israel. It runs weekly activities and camps for hundreds of Jewish youth, as well as bringing many members on programmes to Israel for a summer tour at age 16, or a year-long programme at the completion of high school.
FZY distinguishes itself from other British Zionists youth movements in its Zionist and Judaic pluralism. Ideologically it stands on four pillars of:
* "tarbut" (תרבות) - Jewish culture;
* "tzedaka" (צדקה) - values of charity and righteousness;
* "magen" (מגן) - defense of Jewish rights;
* "aliya" (עליה) - that all Jews should live in Israel
