Maccabi Tzair

A Youth Movement Upholding Jewish Culture and Traditions

Register for Maccabi Tzair Fort Lauderdale to connect with Jewish culture and traditions through this vibrant youth movement.

Who Are We?
Maccabi Tzair Fort Lauderdale is a branch of Maccabi World Union, a Jewish youth movement whose directive is to pass on Jewish culture and traditions to everyone in the Tnua (our youth movement), helping them find and strengthen their Jewish identity and connection to Israel - and ultimately giving them a sense of belonging to the Maccabi Tzair family. Our madrichim (leaders) have been trained to guide the young chanichim (kids) and bring a special meaning to the meetings, programs and events. We have groups for every age level with age-appropriate activities within each group.

Register to become a part of a movement that encourages leadership, social interactions, Jewish identity, and so much more.
