Shlichim (Israeli Emissaries)

Itongadol.- Shaliach means “messenger” or “emissary” in Hebrew; the plural of the word is shlichim.

The Jewish Agency’s shlichim are dedicated to the Jewish People, Jewish heritage, and to Israel. They are hand-picked from various streams of Israeli society, and different professional and academic backgrounds.

The shlichim get communities actively involved in securing a vital Jewish future by creating programming tailor-made for specific communities’ needs – designed to increase Jewish awareness, knowledge, and pride; to bridge the gap between Jews of different backgrounds and Israel; and to promote an understanding of Israel and its ideals.
