Global Jewry

Ensuring a vibrant Jewish future by strengthening the bonds that unite all Jews.

About Us

Who We Are

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.

GLOBAL NEWSFEED

We are committed to our website serving as a reliable hub for the latest news and happenings in the Jewish world. We look forward to providing you with all the 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.

EVENTS CALENDAR

It is not always easy to find out what is happening in your local Jewish community,  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.

ISRAEL

The role Israel plays in Jewish life is ever-evolving any insightful overview of the Jewish homeland involves touching upon her rich history, vibrant culture, and geopolitical significance. Since we believe taking a truly 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 the diverse and complicated landscape of the Jewish homeland at whatever depth you choose to delve.

REST OF THE JEWISH WORLD

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.

LITERATURE AND TEXTS

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.

JEWISH HISTORY AND CULTURE

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 on providing links to a wide range of existing websites so you can find what you want to learn whether you are new to the subject or a university professor.

ENVIRONMENT

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.

TIKKUN OLAM

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?”

PHILANTHROPY

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.
