Why Support vNCSY?
According to a study by the Canadian Federation of Monteal, the
intermarriage rate in Vancouver is a shocking 83 percent and it's
rising!
The Harvard Demographics Study found
that if current trends continue, by 2076 the Jewish population will be
reduced to 85% of what it is today.
An Investment in Tomorrow's Jews
and Tomorrow's Leaders
In 1998, the Lilly Foundation did a
study and found that over 90% of adults involved in NCSY as teenagers
marry Jewish and maintain their involvement with the Jewish community.
NCSY offers Jewish teens a safe, warm,
and welcoming environment to explore Jewish tradition, to meet other
Jewish teens, and to grow spiritually and socially.
Studies have proven that Jewish teens who have a strong sense of Jewish
identity and heritage, and who are versed in Jewish tradition and
practice, have a much higher chance of remaining connected
to Judaism and raising Jewish children.
