NOAM - Blending the Sacred Past with the Exciting Future
NOAM (an acronym for No'ar Masorti) is the name of the youth movement of the Masorti (Conservative) Movement.
Today NOAM can be found in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, England, France, Ukraine and Israel. In North America, the Conservative youth movement is called United Synagogue Youth.
NOAM members join together weekly at their local chapters for activities centered around Jewish values, Masorti Judaism, holidays, scouting skills, leadership training and having fun.
NOAM participants also take part in regional and national Shabbat retreats, winter and summer camps, and Israel trips.
NOAM educates its participants in Masorti Judaism, Zionism, religious pluralism, democracy and a strong sense of tolerance.
An important component of the ideology and values of NOAM is Tikun Olam. NOAM members actively work to improve society through a variety of volunteer projects and community service and fund raising to contribute to causes that better our world.
