THE FIVE FOLDS
The diversity of our programming is what makes
the AZA experience so unique. Activities at
all levels are built around five programming
areas, called "Folds." The Five Folds are Athletic,
Community Service/Social Action, Education,
Judaic and Social. These folds are often
combined to create more dynamic programming.
Social
chapters sponsor a
wide variety of social
programs, often with
chapters. While there is
nothing wrong with simple
social programming, it is
important to be creative and use the fold in the proper
proportion and to combine this with other folds for
effective programming.
Judaic
Judaic programs bring a unique, spiritual aspect to
life in , seeking to develop an understanding of,
and appreciation for, the religion and culture of the
Jewish people. Through programming in the Judaic
fold, we not only learn about Judaism, but also about
the different denominations that other members
practice. Creative Jewish programs incorporate the
popular culture of today as well as traditional
Jewish rituals.
