Ronen Wenderfer
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.
Programming Vice President:
Tori Berman
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.
