CaTZ

 

An ACT Jewish Community Inc children's engagement program

 

CaTZ

 

Canberra Tnua Zionit (CaTZ) is a pluralist Zionist and Jewish youth movement and is the only Zionist and Jewish youth movement in Canberra. It has an integral role in Canberra's Jewish communal life. It serves an essential social function for our school-age children, ages 5-12 years.

CaTZ is run by dedicated and passionate volunteer youth leaders (madrichim) who offer engaging activities that focus on Judaism as a culture and way of life, Zionism and Israel education, team building and communication skills, and Jewish socialisation.

Participants make life-long friendships and form important bonds outside the formal learning in the Cheder and Nativ programs. 

CaTZ participants who also attend Cheder/Nativ in the mornings are reminded to bring their own kosher lunch or snack.

The Nativ program participants who have aged out of CaTZ are encouraged to start their journey towards becoming youth leaders by training as madrichim at CaTZ under the guidance of an experienced team. 

For more information about CaTZ, please contact the ACTJC Office (act.admin@actjc.org.au)
