Today, NCYI serves as the national coordinating agency for nearly 150 Orthodox congregations comprised of nearly 25,000 member families throughout the United States and Canada. NCYI also serves as a resource to its sister organization in Israel , entitled ''Yisrael Hatzair'' - "The Young Israel Movement in Israel", encompassing over 50 synagogues in Israel. It is a grass roots organization administrated on the congregational model, taking its direction from local and national lay leadership as well as rabbis and professional staff. Its socio-cultural outlook is strongly influenced by the Religious Zionist Movement , with strong support of Israel as the homeland for the Jewish people. NCYI is a not-for-profit service organization, as defined by their 501(c)3 status. The main headquarters is located in Manhattan , with regional offices in Florida, California, New Jersey and Jerusalem. In recent years the movement has moved closer to the Haredi with many Young Israel affiliated rabbis being alumni of the Haredi Lithuanian Yeshiva s. The Young Israel has resisted attempts by the Orthodox Union to create a union between the two organizations. EXTERNAL LINK |
