BEFTY

Beth El Federation of Temple Youth is our youth group for students in grades

nine through twelve.

BEFTY is part of NFTY – the North American Federation of Temple Youth,

the youth arm of the URJ. BEFTY offers our students a wide range of activities

throughout the course of the school.  Students get together for social functions,

help lead Shabbat Services, organize a Yom Kippur food drive, plan their own

Passover Seder, and attend many regional retreats and conclaves with students

from throughout Texas and Oklahoma. BEFTY holds annual elections in order to

select its Board to plan and lead programs in the upcoming school year.

The URJ Greene Family Camp, located in Bruceville, Texas near Waco, is the

center of the BEFTY universe.  This is where students from NFTY-TOR, the

Texas/Oklahoma region of NFTY come together during the summer months as well

as on weekends during the school year for social and educational programming.

BEFTY is open to all students in high school and we encourage new membership.
