A Worldwide Network of Jewish Organizations Building a Stronger Future.
We are a growing network of Jewish organizations and influential leaders from around the world, united in our commitment to strengthening the ties that connect the Jewish people. Founded in the summer of 2023, our mission took on even greater urgency and significanceย after October 7th.ย In this pivotal moment, it has never been more important for world Jewry to come together in new ways to support one another, forge deeper relationships, and embrace the shared values that link us.
We are working to secure the Jewish future by making connections, building relationships, and amplifying the work of our partners. These three pillars — connection, collaboration, and amplification — are essential to breaking down silos and enriching the Jewish organizational ecosystem. By bringing organizations together, we are creating the foundation for new and innovative ways to enhance the resilience and solidarity of the global Jewish community.
Our approach is not to create new content and programming but to broaden the reach of our partners. Across the Jewish world, organizations are already doing extraordinary work. We aim to ensure that their contributions reach the widest possible audience, maximizing their impact and strengthening Jewish life everywhere.
We are extremely fortunate to have assembled a large and distinguished advisory board to help guide our efforts. This diverse and passionate group is deeply committed toย klalย Yisrael, the solidarity and well-being of the Jewish people. Their experience, expertise, and unwavering support are invaluable, and their leadership underscores the power of community and the necessity of meaningful connections.
Now, more than ever, we must stand together to build a vibrant, resilient, and connected Jewish future.ย
Please join us in this critical effort.

Global Jewry is evolving! We are excited to announce our upcoming features launching this year!
We are committed to our website serving as a reliable hub for the latestย news and happenings in the Jewish world. We look forward to providing you with all theย information, opinions, and commentaries you need to stay current and to help you keep abreast of what others are thinking about the issues that matter most to you.
It is not always easy to find out what is happening in your local Jewish community, ย much less in other places around the world. Whether you are looking for a Jewish activity or program on your computer, around the corner, or wherever you may be heading for business or pleasure, we want our website to be a source to which you can turn to engage, connect, learn and celebrate with others.
The role Israel plays in Jewish life is ever-evolving anyย insightful overview of the Jewish homeland involves touching upon her rich history, vibrant culture, and geopolitical significance. Since we believe taking a trulyย comprehensive approach is the only way to begin to understand the beauty and complexity of Israel, we intend to link our website to a wide variety of institutions and organizations that can help you delve into theย diverse and complicated landscape of the Jewish homeland at whatever depth you choose to delve.
Far too little attention is paid to Jewish communities outside of Israel and the United States, people and places who have contributed mightily the Jewish people for millennia. Many of these places and the members of the Jewish family who live there have important and relevant stories to tell, ones from which we can all learn a great deal. Our website will soon be a place you can visit to learn about and, more importantly, connect with Jewish communities all over the world.
The Jews are known as the “People of the Book” for a reason, and any website focused on the bonds that connect all members of the Jewish family must include a section allowing its visitors to explore the richness of texts and literature. Fortunately, there has been a tremendous amount of work done over the past several years digitizing and otherwise making Jewish texts and literature accessible online and we will be linking to those sites in the near future.
The Jewish people have a long and fascinating history and culture, one that has been well-documented in print, in video and in the arts. There are many sources of great information if you know where to look, and we are working onย providing links to a wide range of existing websites so you canย find what you want to learn whether you are new to the subject or a university professor.
Caring for our planet has always been a key component of Jewish religion and tradition. Long before the challenges of climate change became apparent, the Jewish people believed in protecting nature and preserving it for future generations. There are many Jewish organizations doing important work on environmental issues, and we are looking forward to helping them raise their profile and recruit volunteers.
Another basic tenet of Jewish life is “tikkun okam,” repairing and improving the world. Every single day, members of the Jewish family are serving others, aiding the less fortunate and pursuing social justice for everyone in impressive and important ways. We are excited about the potential of Global Jewry to increase the awareness of those opportunities and to motivate more people to help make the world a better place for everyone. As the great sage Hillel said, “If we are only for ourselves, who are we?”
The Jewish philanthropic community is large, active and very generous. Jewish institutions, organizations and individuals received billions of dollars of support every year, and members of the Jewish family are significant donors to secular causes as well. Of course, there is never enough to meet all the existing needs much less to fund new initiatives. We hope to use our website to make giving as easy as possible. We want to help spread the word about all the important causes worthy of support and grow the overall amount of Jewish charitable giving each year.

Mem Global believes thereโs no one way to be Jewish.
The organization envisioned a world where Jewish young adults in their 20s and early 30s have the access and resources needed to build and enjoy a thriving Jewish community, build relationships and move further along their Jewish journey. By making this stage of life one of the most exciting times to be Jewish, young adults are set on a trajectory for lifelong involvement in the Jewish community.
This investment in young adults has been part of their story since 2006, when a group of recent college graduates, caught between being too old for campus programs and too young for the existing institutional offerings, created their own space for Jewish life. With initial support from philanthropist Morris Squire, David Cygielman โ now Mem Globalโs CEO โ and friends hosted their first Shabbat dinner in the Bay Area. To all of their excitement, 73 young adults showed up to celebrate Shabbat and be together, as part of the Jewish community.

The Golden Tree Institute was born in 2022 from a powerful and profound encounter between two siblings: Natalie and Raphael.
Young people who learned to deal with many issues very early on: philanthropy, work, community, the loss of a sibling, purpose, and impact. And they chose to practice the values โโthey believe in and what motivates them.
We combine purpose and innovation to plan and act in partnership with other institutions. Together, we promote best practices and projects that change realities and strengthen career paths.
The work carried out by the Golden Tree Institute reflects our commitment to strengthening social organizations and reaffirming our belief in the transformative power of philanthropy to build a more just, equitable, and sustainable society.
Along this path, IGT relies on Yael Sandberg, Daniella Ghertman, and Claudia Donegรก to build all of this together โ in a humane, caring way, committed to listening to and valuing each initiative.
