About Us

MISSION

OUR MISSION

The mission of Global Jewry is to connect and strengthen the Jewish people by leveraging the collective passion, energy, and resources of Jewish organizations in new and unprecedented ways.

VISION

OUR VISION

Our vision is a future in which a unified and collaborative Jewish people, fueled by a global network of organizations and leaders, work together efficiently and effectively to address the most pressing issues confronting Jewish and general communities all over the world.

To achieve this vision, we strive for a world where the following principles guide and inspire our collective efforts:

  • All Jews and their families feel welcome, heard and valued as members of the Jewish people.

  • The sense of connection every Jew feels to the Jewish people transcends all geographical, ideological, political and other barriers to Jewish unity.

  • The bonds that unite all Jews are stronger than ever and the Jewish people feel enriched by our historical, religious and cultural differences.

  • All Jews have unrestricted access to the resources, events, mentors, and networks they need to help them strengthen their Jewish identities and pursue their Jewish journeys.

  • A safe and secure Israel is a source of pride and inspiration.

  • The Jewish community embraces its responsibility to engage in tikkun olam by safeguarding the environment and making the world a better place for all its inhabitants.

We understand the power of community and the need for meaningful connections, especially in today’s fast-paced digital world.

Together, let’s build a vibrant global community of Jews, where relationships are made, experiences are shared, and Jewish identity is celebrated.
