The Federation of Zionist Youth (FZY) is Britain's oldest Jewish, Zionist, pluralist youth movement, founded in 1910. It is affiliated with Young Judaea in the United States and the Hebrew Scouts movement in Israel. It runs weekly activities, political campaigns, year-long programmes and summer programmes for hundreds of young British Jews.
Ideologically, FZY's vision statement is: "The Jewish People, living in peace in the State of Israel as One Nation and as a Light Unto the Nations."
FZY's Jewish, Zionist, pluralist ideology is committed to four aims:
- Tarbut – Jewish culture
- Tzedaka – values of charity and righteousness
- Magen – defence of Jewish rights
- Aliyah nimshechet – moving to Israel and continuing to do good for the state
