F205J is the new group representing the young people of the
Jewish Community of Milan.
It is an evolution of the former EFES2 group.
This evolution reflects the changing needs of young people, as well as shifts in certain community dynamics, which have allowed us to adapt the way we communicate and to support young people not only during their school years but also as young adults between the ages of 18 and 30.

F205J
A new energy comes into play for the Youth Department.
Building our new future
The idea originated with Daniel Saada, one of the two organisers, following his sabbatical year in London, where he had the opportunity to attend various youth events.
He then decided to organise a Shabbaton for Jewish young people aged between 18 and 35 who are connected to the Jewish Community of Milan.
He was fortunate to meet the Secretary General, Alfonso Sassun, who offered his full support. Together, they set the date and location for the first Shabbaton, organising a Shabbat dinner in the Segre Hall of the Italian Rite Synagogue at the Jewish School, on 16 September 2022.
Daniel quickly realised that, for the Shabbaton to be a success, an extra pair of hands was needed, and this is when Ilan Cohen joined the team.
More than 90 people took part in the Shabbaton—an outstanding success for a first event organised with little publicity.
This event became a milestone, and energised by its success, Ilan and Daniel decided to think bigger. They involved Ilan Boni, the then Councillor for Youth, who expressed his enthusiasm and encouraged them to move forward.
This is how F205J was born—an added boost for the Youth Department of the Jewish Community of Milan.
No time was wasted, and work began immediately on organising the first official event of the Youth Department, scheduled to take place during Sukkot, the Festival of Booths. The first step was to book the sukkah of the Jewish School of Milan, and on 14 October 2022 promotion of the event began. The initiative was met with widespread enthusiasm and attracted a significant number of participants.
The success was made possible thanks to the strong support of the entire Community and the help of three young volunteers:
Yosef Sassun, Leo Sassun
and Gavriel Airppol
A Fun Fact
F205 represents the tax code of the Municipality of Milan, while the “J” stands for Jewish.
We are very pleased with what has been created, and in order to actively build our success, the long-term project
NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT
There are many new initiatives on the way that can only become reality with the support of all young people who, with intelligence, enthusiasm and passion, are willing to carry forward these many gatherings and activities.
