Mexico City Study Mission

G-FLI participants cruised along Xochimilco’s floating canals and gardens in a traditional trajinera canal boat.

Greensboro Federation Leadership Institute The Greensboro Federation Leadership Institute (G-FLI) centers on providing leadership opportunities to develop the next generation of the Greensboro Jewish community.

Ten participants of the third G-FLI cohort spent 18 months engaging in immersive experiential education and graduated in June of this fiscal year.

Prior to graduation, Cohort-3 and a few Cohort-2 alumni traveled to Mexico City for the End of Session International Trip. The city, home to 46,000 Jews, 95% residing in the capital, offered a robust immersion into Jewish-Mexican culture.

G-FLI participants explore the Jewish-Mexican culture

The trip included a tour of Colegio Olami ORT, a Jewish day school that nurtures creativity through project-based learning, and caters to students from toddlers to high school seniors.

The tour continued with stops at Mexico City’s two oldest synagogues. Mount Sinai Synagogue, built in 1918 by Middle Eastern Jewish immigrants, still stands as a remarkable place of worship and community. From the synagogue, the G-FLIers marveled at the Monument to the Revolution’s arch.

It was clear to the cohorts that JewishMexican culture is alive and robust, founded on hundreds of years of impactful history.

Israel Experience Grants

Global Emergency Fund

Israel experiences are one of the best ways to strengthen Jewish identity. The Federation and Jewish Family Services provide financial support to applicants with a desire to increase their faith and overall connection to the global Jewish community.

Year after year, our annual campaign strengthens the foundation that fosters Jewish life in more than 70 countries around the world. And when an emergency arises, that preparedness allows us to mobilize and spring into action. But, with any crisis, needs grow beyond what our core foundation can support, requiring us to do more.

This year, grants from the Greensboro Jewish Federation were awarded to eight young adults, and two recipients received scholarships from the Jacke W. and Lottie K. Samet Israel Scholarship Fund.

making a world of difference The Greensboro Jewish Federation strengthens our sense of belonging by bringing Jews together around the world, by bringing Jews to Israel – and Israel to Greensboro. We do good every day through the local presence of our ShinShiniot and Israel experiences.

The Jewish Agency for Israel The Jewish Agency for Israel (JAFI) has been working to secure a vibrant Jewish future for generations since 1929. The Federation’s core allocation of $86,000 supported JAFI as it connected Jews across the world to Israel, provided a space for Jewish voices to be heard, and protected Jewish lives.

Partnership2Gether JAFI’s Partnership2Gether platform creates a living bridge between Greensboro, communities in the Southeastern U.S., Prague, and the Hadera-Eiron region of Israel. Greensboro’s additional allocation of $20,000 went towards peerto-peer programs, cultural exchanges, home hospitality, teen exchanges, and educational programming.

JAFI’s Leadership2Gether program pairs young adults in Israel with counterparts in the U.S. Six participants in Greensboro met virtually with their partners, culminating in a seven-day Leadership2Gether retreat in the Hadera-Eiron region of Israel.

Shinshinim Young Ambassador’s Program The ShinShinim Young Ambassadors Program through JAFI offers Israeli high school graduates an opportunity to delay mandatory service in the Israel Defense Forces to volunteer in Jewish communities.

Thanks to a grant from the Zeff Family Foundation, and generous local donors, Noya Shapira and Maskit Galach were welcomed in Greensboro where they shared their love and knowledge of Israel with our community. In nine months, two ShinShiniot completed 12,000+ hours of student interaction, and hosted 20+ community events with 500+ attendees.
