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 significance after October 7th. 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 to klal 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.
Please join us in this critical effort.

AMITIM – Mentoring Executives Across Communities | Global Jewry

Amitim was established to mobilize and engage former Federation CEOs to strengthen Israel and increase the professional capacity of institutions in Israel.While basketball fans are fixated on brackets and buzzer-beaters, another kind of March Madness is unfolding - one with far greater consequences.
In Israel, the war with Gaza has resumed, political tensions are at a fever pitch, and what was meant to be a unifying moment, a global gathering in Jerusalem next week to address rising antisemitism, has instead become yet another source of division.

Deep in the Azerbaijani foothills of the southern Caucasus Mountains lies one of Europe’s most fascinating communities: the Mountain Jews of Red Village. Known locally as “Krasnaya Sloboda” in Russian and “Qirmizi Qasaba” in Azeri, this unique community has thrived for nearly 300 years, maintaining its distinct culture and traditions despite changing political landscapes.
The only all-Jewish village outside Israel and the United States, Red Village is a paradox of isolation and multiculturalism. Its residents, fluent in languages like Persian, Russian, Turkish, and Hebrew, have ties that span the globe—from Moscow and Brooklyn to Tel Aviv and Baku. Though small, the community’s sense of identity remains remarkably resilient, with traditions passed down through generations.
One of the community’s most celebrated figures is Albert Agarunov, a Mountain Jew who became a national hero of Azerbaijan for his bravery during the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. His legacy lives on through a monumental statue in Baku, symbolizing the enduring spirit of Red Village’s people.
Global Jewry is dedicated to empowering Jewish communities worldwide, building connections, and preserving a vibrant Jewish future. Find out more here globaljewry.org!
