IAJF YOUNG LEADERSHIP

2024-2025 Nova Campaign

ABOUT US

IAJF Young Leadership (IAJF-YL), established in 2013, brings together young professionals in their 20s to mid-30s from across the Tri-State area. Dedicated to advancing IAJF’s mission, the division offers high-quality social and educational programs, networking opportunities, and cultural activities that foster community, pride in our heritage, and support for Israel.

 

From Shabbat dinners and Challah Bakes to AIPAC participation and Happy Hours, IAJF-YL engages its members while raising awareness for charitable causes and instilling Jewish values. By developing programs that empower the next generation of leaders, providing a platform for socializing and networking, and raising funds to support impactful causes locally and globally, IAJF-YL creates a sense of pride in Iranian Jewish culture and heritage. We invite you to join this warm and committed group of young professionals.
