The Jewish Federations of North America represents 157 Jewish Federations and over 300 Network communities, which raise and distribute more than $3 billion annually for social welfare, social services and educational needs. The Federation movement, collectively among the top 10 charities on the continent, protects and enhances the well-being of Jews worldwide through the values of tikkun olam (repairing the world), tzedakah (charity and social justice) and Torah (Jewish learning). 

Partnership with Israel, a program of the Jewish Agency and the Jewish Federations of North America, promotes personal relationships between the Central Area Consortium (15 U.S. Jewish communities) and Israel’s Western Galilee (Akko and Matte Asher) through cultural, educational, social, medical and economic programs. Partnership with Israel is made up of an inclusive and active network of people focused on the mutual exchange of ideas and programs with the goal of developing relationships to strengthen our global Jewish Identity. The Partnership is dedicated to connecting people and making a difference for Jews in Israel and America. Through the structure of 6 task forces (Arts, Education, Missions & Marketing, Medical, Regional Development, and Budapest) community members can be agents of change and create stronger bonds between communities. The Partnership is open to new ideas and people who wish to connect between the 15 Jewish communities and the Western Galilee.

For over 80 years, the Jewish Agency has served as the link between the Jewish people and Israel, working to ensure the future of a connected, committed, global Jewish People with a strong Israel at its center. JAFI helped create and build the State and brought over 3 million Jews to Israel.

JAFI's Mission:  To Inspire Jews throughout the world to Connect with their people, heritage and Land, and Empower them to build a thriving Jewish future and a strong Israel.  The Jewish Agency pursues this mission by:

Forging strong connections to Israel through a sequence of Israel experiences for teens and young adults – from Birthright's short visit to Israel, to Masa's live‐and‐learn experience from 5 months to a year.

Facilitating aliyah for those who choose to make Israel their home.

Engaging young Jews from Israel and around the world in social activism, infusing them with Jewish purpose and connecting them to one another, while addressing the needs of vulnerable populations in Israel.

Reconnecting Jews from the former Soviet Union to their Jewish roots from which they were forcibly separated over 70 years of communist rule.

Rescuing Jews from countries of distress and re‐settling them in Israel.

Serving as first responder to crises in Israel and around the Jewish world.
