Tzofim North America

Tzofim North America has roots that go back as far as the 1960s. The organization fosters a deep Zionist connection to Israel through its teen-led, Hebrew-speaking youth movement, as well as its immersive experiences and long-term opportunities to explore life in Israel.

Each week, Tzofim North America serves more than 5,200 youth in its 29 Tzabar chapters, representing diverse communities led by volunteers. Through its Garin Tzabar program, Tzofim North America supports hundreds of young adults each year who choose to make aliyah and serve as lone soldiers in the Israel Defense Forces.

Tzofim North America also operates immersive summer programs, including “Chetz V’Keshet” and “Tzababa” teen trips to Israel, the Delegation to Poland, as well as U.S.-based programs, including Camp Machane B’Yachad, a teen delegation to Jewish summer camps and the renowned Friendship Caravan tour.
“Israel’s young generation is one of our nation’s greatest strengths. Culture has the power to build bridges,” said Danny Danon, Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations.
“Sending both my children has been such a significant and meaningful decision,” said Orly Zevulun from Tarzana, Calif.
Participants described the conversations as an opportunity to move beyond news headlines and social-media narratives to connect on a personal level.
This summer’s tour will celebrate the resilience in the aftermath of the Oct. 7 terror attacks and war.
