Ensuring a vibrant Jewish future by strengthening the bonds that unite all Jews.
Global Jewry is a growing collective of Jewish leaders and organizations from all over the world committed to working together to strengthen the bonds that unite the Jewish people. Founded in the summer of 2023, our mission took on new relevance and consequence on October 7th. It has never been more important for world Jewry to connect in new ways, support one another, forge deeper relationships, and value all we share.
We are extraordinarily fortunate to have assembled a distinguished executive committee and advisory board to help us achieve our objectives. They are a diverse and passionate group, deeply committed to strengthening klal Yisrael (the Jewish people) and fostering unity on a global scale. We benefit every day from the wealth of experience, expertise and support they contribute to our work since few better understand or appreciate the power of community and the need for meaningful connections.
With their assistance, we are making introductions, building relationships, and amplifying the work of our partners. All three are key to breaking down silos and nourishing the Jewish ecosystem, the first step in the development of new, creative solutions to bolster the resilience and solidarity of the global Jewish family.
We are also a dynamic platform for resource-sharing, facilitating access within our collective and beyond for organizations and individuals of all ages eager to learn more about the Jewish people, deepen their Jewish identity, engage with fellow Jews worldwide, and reaffirm their commitment to the global Jewish community.
Our strategy for engaging people is not to create our own content and programming but rather to broaden the reach of our partners. They are already doing great work in their respective areas, and we want to be sure as many people as possible benefit from all they are already contributing to Jewish life.
Please join us in this critical effort to build a vibrant and connected Jewish family.
At Global Jewry, our quest for Jewish unity is an ambitious one, and building bridges among Jewish communities and organizations worldwide is no small feat. We face numerous challenges, both from internal differences and external pressures. There are many reasons to feel overwhelmed and consider giving up.
Like the little engine that could, we believe in our ability to succeed.
And with your support, we will.
