About Emtza Region USY

Emtza is the Midwest region of USY. Emtza is from Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Iowa, Colorado, Missouri, and Kansas. Emtza programs give Jewish teens a chance to learn and grow as a Jew and most of all to have fun with other Jews. Teens learn about Judaism and Israel, do social action projects, give tzedakah, and enjoy other social programming like bowling or just hanging out.

There are many chapters in Emtza region. These chapters are based in a certain synagogue and have frequent programming. Many chapter programs take place at the synagogue. All chapter programs are lots of fun to go to. Check out the chapters section of the website to find a chapter near you.

Regional programs, when all the chapters get together, take place less often but are that much more fun. Every two to three months there are conventions, when USYers from all around the Midwest spend Shabbat together. Going to a regional program is a great way to meet people from all over the midwest.
