On May 26, our NOAM Shnat MAROM group came together with the shinshinim from נוע"ם - נוער מסורתי for a special day of learning, connection, and community.

Together, we explored the idea of Hagshama: turning our values and beliefs into action. We reflected on what Hagshama means personally, within the Masorti movement, and through NOAM.

We wrapped up the day by joining the NOAM peulot led by the shinshinim, alongside our amazing NOAM São Paulo madrichim, who also took part in leading and participating in the activities.

It was incredibly meaningful to learn together, discover how much we share, and watch new friendships grow throughout the day.

Here’s to more learning, more connection, and many more collaborations like this one.

Wishing all of us continued Hagshama, bringing our beliefs, values, and dreams into action.

From May 7–10, Abayudaya Youth Association (NOAM Uganda) members from Jewish communities across Uganda came together in the Apac Jewish Community in the Northern region of the country for a special Shabbaton inspired by the theme “Receiving the Torah.”

For many young people in Apac, this was a rare opportunity to host and experience a Shabbaton in their own community while connecting with Jewish youth from across the country.

One of the biggest highlights of the weekend was a peulah led independently by the Madrichim for the very first time during an AYA Shabbaton. Through discussions and activities about humility, unity, and what it means to receive the Torah, they showed incredible leadership, confidence, and teamwork.

The weekend was filled with meaningful moments — welcoming Shabbat together, singing and playing guitar, learning from one another, and even pushing the van through flooded roads on the way to Apac.

Experiences like these continue to strengthen friendships, leadership, and Jewish life across Uganda.

Despite the war and the uncertainty of these times, NOAM’s Purim celebrations around the world remained strong.

Our snifim reminded us how powerful it is to stay connected to our Jewish holidays, traditions, and community, especially when the world feels uncertain.

Praying for peaceful days ahead for everyone.

That’s a wrap for Machanot Kaitz NOAM AmLat 2026!

This summer, NOAM Amlat came alive through learning, connection, and real shared experiences.

Across different machanot, our chanichim explored Jewish connections and strengthened their identity as Jewish, Latin American, and NOAMists.

In Chile, our machanot created powerful spaces to explore Jewish leadership (from Abraham and Sarah to Golda Meir and Ben Gurion) and to dive deep into the theme of Invisible Heroes Throughout History, through creative peulot, tefillot, Shabbatot, campfires, games, and meaningful moments of growth and leadership.

In Argentina, Majané Beiajad Elise brought together four communities for a week centered on resilience and choosing connection, combining learning, beach days, Shabbat, and shared experiences that highlighted the strength of being together.

Our Brazilian machane focused on identity — Jewish, Israeli, Brazilian, and NOAM — creating space for reflection, challenge, and pride, enriched by the presence of madrichim from Argentina, whose participation was powerful and enriching for everyone.

And in El Salvador, Majané Zehut 2026 returned to its roots, held in the same location as the community’s first machanot in the 1970s, with peulot, hikes, campfires, laughter, and renewed energy for the year ahead.

Different places, different stories, and one shared NOAM experience, full of learning, memories, and heart.

Kol Hakavod, NOAM Chile (Tnua Tikva and Bet-El), Noam Argentina, NOAM - São Paulo, and NOAM El Salvador.

Across the past months, NOAM snifim across Europe came together for powerful, joyful, and deeply meaningful winter machanot, full of connection, learning, and shared NOAM spirit.

In the UK, chanichim from Shorashim to Nevatim came together with Noam Masorti Youth for cozy nights, mega kef, big questions, and even bigger dreams. The theme challenged everyone to think about who they are right now and who they want to become. Together, as a community.

In Spain, Machane Ofek, with participants from NOAM Madrid and NOAM Barcelona, dove into the idea of Freedom. Freedom of identity, belief, of being online and offline. Through peulot, honest conversations, music-filled Kabbalat Shabbat, and a meaningful Havdalah and gift exchange, chanichim and madrichim experienced Judaism as something alive, curious, and empowering.

In Ukraine, NOAM Ukraine machane was built with intention and heart. Chanichim didn’t just participate, they led. From explaining the tefillot during Shacharit to running masterclasses for one another, they shaped the experience themselves. Add dancing, games shared from other European snifim, and a calm, connected vibe, and the result was something truly special.

Different countries. Different languages. Different stories.
One movement shaping Jewish identity, leadership, and connection across borders.

This December, Jewish youth from across Uganda came together for the traditional Shabbaton of the Abayudaya Youth Association (AYA), NOAM Olami’s local youth chapter. Centered on the theme “Everyone Has a Light to Share,” the weekend created space for each participant to shine, from Hanukkah candle lighting to a lively talent show filled with creativity, confidence, and joy.

They were also joined by an inspiring group of MAROM volunteers from Comunidade Shalom, who were in Uganda as part of Jornada Social, a hands-on volunteer initiative focused on concrete improvements to local infrastructure and living conditions within communities. During the Shabbaton, they took part in sessions and Hanukkah candle lighting, creating meaningful moments of shared learning, connection, and exchange across communities.

The weekend was filled with energy and inspiration, with sessions led by Rabbi Fernanda Tomchinsky-Galanternik, from Shalom, facilitator Norah Nantabo, and Rabbi Gershom Sizomu, senior rabbi of the Abayudaya communities. Alongside joyful Shabbat tefilot, shared meals, and unforgettable singing, youth also took part in leadership conversations with AYA President Natan Kintu and madricha Zivah Sizomu, encouraging them to step up and take active roles in their communities.

The Shabbaton was a reminder that every light matters and that when we come together, we build stronger, brighter Jewish communities.

Huge thanks to everyone who made this weekend possible. May the light we shared continue to grow and travel far beyond this Shabbaton.

In December, 770 chanichim, madrichim, and community team members came together for Noam Argentina summer camp, Majané Elise Beiajad, on the Atlantic coast of Buenos Aires Province. For a full week, the camp was all about connection, learning, sharing, and just being together.

With resilience as its central theme, and participants from four communities - Juventud Bialik, Juventud Lamroth Hakol, Juventud Iona, and Noar Bet Hilel - the machané was filled with tefilot, workshops, Shabbat, beach time, bonfires, deep conversations, and plenty of moments of joy and reflection, all rooted in Masorti Judaism.

Masorti Argentina Coordinator Melanie Fernandez joined the camp and was present throughout the machané process. She surprised the chanichim with a sweet water bottle gift, adding an extra touch of warmth and care to an already meaningful experience.

Kol hakavod to Majané Elise Beiajad 2025, for showing that resilience isn’t about ignoring pain, but about choosing community, hope, and life. Together.
