Following is the TIFTY Code of Conduct that all TIFTY Members sign:
TIFTY’s B’RIT KEHILLAH—Code of Conduct
I will promote the creation of a religious youth community based on mutual respect and a sense of personal wellbeing. I will treat others with Kavod (honor and respect) because we are created B’tzelem Elohim (in the image of God). I have read the following rules, designed to promote the health and safety of all event participants, and have indicated my complete acceptance by my signature and that of my parent/guardian. I will not possess, consume, or distribute alcoholic beverages, other than that served by adult leadership for Jewish sacramental purposes, even if I am of legal drinking age. I will not possess, use, or distribute any illegal drug or drug paraphernalia. I will not smoke or consume or distribute tobacco products at any time during the event. I will attend and participate fully in the entire event, unless otherwise agreed upon with the TIFTY Advisors. I will arrive on time, stay until the end, and remain on the event premises at all times. I will not bring or use any weapons, firearms, or anything that may be construed as a weapon. I will not commit any illegal act. I understand that vandalism, disturbing the peace, or other inappropriate behavior as determined by the adult leadership in accordance with the youth leadership will not be tolerated. I understand that I will have to pay for any damage that I cause. I understand that no gambling is allowed, except for fundraisers approved by the adult leadership. I will abide by the event curfew announced by the leadership. After each event session, I will go directly to my cabin, hotel room, or host home and remain there until the next session. I understand that no guests are allowed at any event, unless the adult leadership grants permission in advance, and that any unauthorized guests will be asked to leave immediately. I will not drive during events, unless advance permission for a special situation is requested in writing by my parent/guardian and granted in writing by the TIFTY Advisors. I will not participate in any activities that could be deemed as hazing, sexually harassing, demeaning, or hurtful. I agree to refrain from inappropriate sexual behavior. I agree to abide by any additional rules, pertinent to a specific event, which may be announced, and to accept the consequences of their violation.
