NOAM (acronym for No’ar Masorti or Masorti Youth) is a 2,000-member strong national youth movement, where children between the ages of 10–18, are educated in the Masorti values of egalitarian Judaism, Zionism, democracy and pluralism. Operating 17 branches throughout Israel, NOAM strives to educate children and teens about Jewish traditions and values, while providing opportunities to acquire leadership skills.
NOAM Branches
Noam members meet once or twice a week, according to age group, with most of the branches operating from Masorti kehillot throughout the country. They continue to embody the values of the Movement through their military service and as NOAM alumni.
NOAM Nationwide Activities
Throughout the year, NOAM organizes a variety of nationwide activities that are integrated into the branches' annual program. These activities further enhance the educational (and very fun!) experience that the members experience throughout the year. The main activities include: a Sukkot hike, a Hanukkah seminar, branch and nationwide shabbatonin (weekend activities), and a Pesach hike. The highpoint of the year is the unforgettable Camp Ramah-NOAM, held in nature!
Camp Ramah-NOAM
Camp Ramah-NOAM is part of NOAM’s year-round programming. Many participants attend our national Camp Ramah-NOAM, a two-week sleep-away camp–the only traditionally Jewish, egalitarian camp of its kind in Israel.
