I am a 11th grader from Houston, TX and I am excited to be a candidate to be your 5781-5782 NFTY-TOR President! I was born in Texas, but I am also half Canadian and have attended several Canadian summer camps. When I am not doing stuff with NFTY, I like to read about political history and watch MSNBC and The West Wing. I love NFTY-TOR and I want others to be able to feel that same love. I found out about NFTY at a young age and was excited to be a part of it. In these troubled times, it helps to be able to connect with other Jews throughout the region and the country. I want every Jewish teen to get the chance to be a part of this amazing community.

Hi! My name is Tori Berman and I use they/she pronouns, and here are some fun things about me! I have two older sisters that were both in NFTY, so I have been surrounded by TOR since I was about 7. I love animals, and I have an amazing dog named Maisy. I plan to travel the world some day with my girlfriend, and try to make a change in the current climate crisis.

Hey NFTY-TOR! I’m Cameron (they/them) from Temple Sinai in Houston. Serving two years as your Social Action Chair, I have been able to grow as a leader while uplifting the members of our sacred community. Outside of working on social justice initiatives with the RAC, you can find me playing ukulele for friends on facetime, designing online apps and websites, or taking fascinating photos of nature.
