Overview
Jewish Agency represents a living bridge between the people of Israel and Jewish
communities around the world. Its governing bodies--- -- the
Executive, the
Board of Governors and the Assembly -- symbolize this partnership and
are
made up of representatives of both Israel and world Jewry.
Jewish Agency facilitates a myriad of opportunities for direct, people-to-people encounters between Israelis and their Diaspora counterparts. The primary vehicle for such experiences is Partnership 2000, through which over one million Israelis are linked with the members of 550 Jewish communities worldwide.
In order to maintain the partnership between Israel and the Diaspora, Jewish Agency has created dozens of leadership training frameworks in order to prepare young people to assume leadership roles in their own communities, both in Israel and around the world.
Jewish Agency also facilitates a number of frameworks for direct giving, through which Diaspora donors are given the opportunity to forge close, personal ties with the recipients of their philanthropy.
