HeChalutzim is Hebrew for "The Pioneers," who were the original settlers in modern-day Israel. In USY, HeChalutzim is the Israel Advocacy specialty club, created so that we can make the best possible Israel, through Israel programming, advocacy workshops, and fun activities. HeChalutzim is the best opportunity for anyone who loves our land, and wants to support her, through knowledge and action.

 

The 613 Mitzvah Corps is the main SA/TO Club within USY. To sign-up, all you have to do is pay $6.13 for a yearly membership, or a generous $61.30 for a lifetime membership.

 

The Abraham Joshua Heschel Honor Society encourages USYers to learn more about Judaism and the observance of Mitzvot. Named after Abraham Joshua Heschel (1907-1972), a faculty member of the Jewish Theological Seminary and incredibly influential Jewish figure, the Heschel Society is a very special core group of USYers who are committed to their Judaism. Because Heschel Society members are a significant and elite group within USY, USY offers special programs for them.
