Aleph Zadik Aleph (AZA) was created to help Jewish youth learn about and appreciate Jewish religion and culture, and it was
organized on a national level in 1924. Although B'nai B'rith started its organization for young women, which they called B'nai
B'rith Girls, also in 1924, it was not until 1940 when B'nai B'rith Girls began to be sponsored nationally. Since 1944, AZA
and B'nai B'rith Girls have been part of the B'nai B'rith Youth Organization (BBYO) and, as such, B'nai B'rith and B'nai B'rith
Women sponsor them.
