Young Judaea, founded in 1909, is the pluralistic American Zionist youth organization. The Federation for Zionist Youth (FZY) is the British equivalent. Students from both youth groups, and students with no past experience in either youth group, can attend a year-long volunteer and study program in Israel. Volunteer options include Kibbutz, Moshav, Sar-El (army assistance), Marva (basic training), Magen David Adom, and many more. This year, we've asked current participant Daniel Keebler to write about his own experiences with the program.
