The annual observance of Jewish Youth Week will start tomorrow in Jewish communities throughout the country. The Week is conducted under the auspices of the National Jewish Youth Conference, with which more than 300 local youth and young adult councils are affiliated.
The purpose of Jewish Youth Week is to focus attention on the role, achievements and potentialities of Jewish youth in the growth and development of a creative, democratic American Jewish community. Hundreds of Jewish Community Centers, YMHA’s, Jewish youth and young adult councils and other groups will conduct field days, cultural festivals, Jewish youth Sabbaths, forums, institutes, rallies, interfaith programs and other events.
