LJY-Netzer is an ideological youth movement
This means we have a set of values that guide everything that we do. There are four main pillars of our ideology: Liberal Judaism, Progressive Zionism, Tikkun Olam (Repairing the World) and Youth Empowerment. Our ideology shapes how we run our movement and events, ensuring that all aspects of the ideology are covered on each event. See below for more details.
Tikkun Olam
We strive to be active in our commitment to Tikkun Olam (Repair of the World) on all levels, from the self (Tikkun Atzmi) to social action on a range of communal and global issues.
Youth Empowerment
Youth Empowerment is fundamental to the running of our Youth Movement. Every member of the movement is under 25 and we take time to make sure everyone has a say in its running.
Reform Zionism
We are a Reform Zionist Youth movement, who encourage our members to develop a personal and nuanced relationship with Israel that will develop over time.
Liberal Judaism
As part of Liberal Judaism, we believe in egalitarianism and meaningful engagement with Jewish texts, values, culture and history, and practice these beliefs on all events.
