Youth Organizations

/I*0 ■■ •••••••

(This is the tenth and last of a series)

THE YOUTH ORGANIZATION was formed in November, 1944,
by the Mud Brith Youth Commission to combine all the sections
of Bnai Brith youth into a single organization.
Through this organization, the high ideals of Bnal Brith are
taught countless thousands of young people all over North America.
Young boys and girls, as well as young men and women, from the
ages of 14 through 25, through their participation in BBYO are
learning to take an active role
in Jewish life.
The BBYO is divided into four
iistinct groups, each different in
'nterest and appeal, and yet ba-
3ically the same instructure and
activity. Each group carries on
'ts own program with leaders
from its own ranks who work
and plan those things in which
'hey find themselves most inter-
ested.
Although much of their work
Is done within their own groups,
the four segments more than fre-
quently combine their talents and
efforts to provide such activity
which will promote the strength
of BBYO.
• • •

THE OLDEST OF these groups
in origin, if not in age, is the
AZA, which has been providing
for boys of high school age, a
well-rounded, five-fold program
for almost a quarter of a century.
HELEN ALPERT
This program is so wide in scope that it has an honest appeal for
every type of youth. Many of the men who are today taking an im-
portant part in Bnal Brith, trace their leadership ability to the
ranks of AZA.
Next come the Bnai Brith Girls, who have just recently been
set up into a national structure, but who long before that time were
doing active work in their community. During the war, hundreds
of these girls were doing Red Cross work, taking care of children for
war-working mothers and selling bonds. These girls are of a similar
age as those of their brothers of AZA, and their program is similar.
The third group of BBYO is that of Bnai Brith Young Women
who were busy in Bnai Brith work and philanthropy long before
they were established into any official structure.

• • •

THE YOUNGEST OF the Bnal Brith Youth, as far as organiza-
tion is concerned, is the Bnal Brith Young Men, an organization 'that
was exclusively started by the Youth Commission. Although BBYM
is in the pioneering stage, the young men of Bnai Brith have already
begun to set both policy and program and are looking forward to
their national convention this summer.
District Six can be especially proud of the fine work that has
been done by its youth. District Six is the cradle of BBYO, for it
was here that a group of boys gathered together some 20 odd years
ago to form the first AZA chapter and, consequently, to lay the
roots of BBYO.
AZA was organized in Detroit about 1928. The first chapter was
called Detroit No. 63 and began with about a dozen members and
was sponsored by Pisgah Lodge. Over a period of 19 years AZA
has grown to include 14 chapters with close to 500 members. They
were organized into a city council in which all chapters are repre-
sented. The council includes Windsor, which has one AZA chapter.
The Thiel Brith Girls were originally a social group and later
became organized as a sister organization to AZA. This organization
was called BZB and was organized about 10 years ago.
The Rebecca Gratz, Naomi and Deborah groups were organized
as Junior Girls nine years ago. In October, 1942, these three groups
became Bnai Brith Young Women, and today there are seven Young
Women's groups with an eighth group in formation. The total mem-
bership of this portion of BBYO is about 275. The BBYW are or-
ganized into a city council with representatives from each one of
the chapters, including Windsor.

others.
The history of Bnal Brith Young Men has much the momentum
as that of the other three groups. In March, 1945, Pioneer No. 6, the
first Bnal Brith Young Men's group In Detroit, was organized with
H members. In March, 1945, a charter was also granted to Rex No. 11
Bruit Brith Young Men, making It the eleventh chapter in the na•
tionwide order. However, this group did not begin to function ef-
fectively until Jan. 1, 1946.
Today there are four Bnai Brith Young Men's chapters in De-
troit, with a total membership of 80.
Each of the youth groups was originally sponsored by an inde-
pendent lodge or auxiliary. However, two years ago sponsorship of
AZA and BBYM was taken over by the Greater Detroit Men's Coun-
s t
cil. At the same time, the sponsorship of BBG and BBYW was given
to the Greater Detroit Women's Council.
