Our Most Important Team Members

Our most important team members are those who have joined our mission as FFOZ Friends, supporting our global outreach. Many of our Friends also serve on the front lines as Torah Club Leaders, facilitating local clubs and creating places of learning and fellowship. Without the support of our FFOZ Friends and Torah Club Leaders, we could not carry out the mission with which God has entrusted us.
