Masorti Programs: NOAM

NOAM (an acronym for No'ar Masorti, Masorti Youth), is a nationwide youth movement that unites youngsters, 10 to 18 - years-old from from Masorti kehillot and TALI schools with children from Orthodox, Reform and secular homes. At NOAM's 16 branches, some 2,500 young Israelis come together to learn, first-hand, the meaning of pluralism and tolerance.

6NOAM members participate in weekly activities, Shabbatonim (weekend events), seminars and tikkun olam, social action projects. Educational programming focuses on subjects such as Jewish identity, Zionism, Jewish education and more. All activities emphasize the importance of Jewish traditions infused with the pluralistic and inclusive outlook that characterizes Masorti Judaism. Every young person is made to feel welcome and acquires a sense of belonging.

Age-appropriate activities take place on both local and national levels. Participation in NOAM provides unforgettable experiences and the opportunity for friendship while instilling leadership skills and Jewish values.

7Each year, a NOAM group volunteers for community service, following high school graduation. Participants may work as coordinators in NOAM chapters, fulfilling requirements for national service in the IDF. NOAM also supports IDF Nahal (Pioneer Fighting Youth) units, in which members combine army service with community outreach. NOAM graduates are well integrated into all programs of the Masorti movement and are often instrumental in helping the movement grow.

NOAM is run by a dedicated staff of professionals and volunteers, based in Jerusalem under the director of Omer Pickholtz and Rabbi Deby Grinberg. Eleventh- and twelfth-grade NOAM members serve as counselors for the younger age groups, while members of garinim (NOAM graduates), lead older NOAM groups.
