As I stroll through the vibrant streets of Jerusalem or the cutting-edge tech hubs of Tel Aviv, I’m struck by the profound importance of my mission at GPI. For Jewish communities around the world, Zionism is not just a political movement or an abstract idea—it is the golden thread weaving together our roots, our heritage, and most importantly, our shared humanity.
The Power of Connection
connection is at the heart of everything I do.
It’s the tearful joy of a grandmother watching her grandchild’s bar mitzvah at the Western Wall. It’s the spark of pride in a young professional realizing how Israeli innovation can shape their future. It’s the overwhelming sense of belonging a college student feels when they step off the plane at Ben Gurion Airport, knowing they are part of a global family.
These moments of connection are not just emotional highlights; they are the very foundation of Jewish continuity. They embody modern Zionism’s essence: a living, breathing relationship with our people and our land.
Why This Battle Matters Now
In an increasingly fragmented world, maintaining our connection to Israel and our Jewish identity is a challenge. But it’s a battle worth fighting—not with weapons, but with knowledge, passion, and a profound love for our shared heritage.
Each Jewish community worldwide holds a vital chapter in our collective story. Whether you’re part of the bustling Jewish life in New York or a close-knit community in Buenos Aires, your connection to Israel ensures that our narrative endures and evolves. Investing in this connection means dedicating your time, emotions, and energy to cultivating meaningful relationships with Israel.
Connecting to Israel is deeply personal. It’s about finding what resonates most with you—be it innovation, cultural expression, religious studies, business ventures, or social action projects.
