From volunteering to missions abroad: The new platform that will connect Israelis with world Jewry

Three years after October 7, the Jewish Agency is launching an online platform that brings together volunteering, missions, and assistance programs for Israelis and diaspora Jews under one roof. The platform offers engagement tracks, support for reservists, terror victims, lone immigrant soldiers, and business owners affected by the war.

Three years after October 7, the Jewish Agency is launching a new online platform designed to connect Israelis with diaspora Jews through volunteering, missions, and assistance programs. The platform centralizes a wide range of initiatives under one roof: local volunteering programs to strengthen community resilience, applications for a year of service and missions in Jewish communities and campuses around the world, and support for populations affected during the war years – reservists, terror victims, lone immigrant soldiers, and business owners. Fiana Drang, the Jewish Agency's Vice President of Marketing and Communications, is quoted: "Since October 7, we have identified a greater desire in Israel and the Jewish world to be involved, to contribute, and to make an impact. The platform we built allows everyone to find the way and place where they can make a difference." The platform is now open for public use on the Jewish Agency website.
