Partnership2Gether Brings Israel to Greensboro
This spring, the Federation welcomed guests through the Partnership2Gether (P2G) program, a global “sister city” initiative by JAFI (Jewish Agency for Israel). Greensboro is part of a Southeastern U.S. network that connects Jewish communities in North Carolina and nearby states with partners in the Czech Republic and Israel’s Hadera-Eiron region.
First, visitors Noga Hila Motana and Aamit Yagur, from the HaderaEiron region, explored Greensboro. They visited the Women of the Shoah Holocaust memorial, participated in a Purim hamantaschen baking event at Chabad Jewish Center of Greensboro, and spoke at Federation’s March 2 event, P2G Voices from Hadera-Eiron, sharing how the events of October 7 have impacted their lives in Israel.
The Federation was also pleased to welcome this year’s P2G Shlichim (Israeli Emissaries) as part of JAFI’s 2025 Road Tour Across the SE. Ziv Shemesh, Tal Bahar, and Ofer Musan were treated to a packed itinerary, including a guided tour of Greensboro; a Lunch & Learn with Temple Emanuel’s Rabbi Koren; a visit to B’nai Shalom Day School; a meet-and-greet at Beth David Synagogue; and an ice cream social in Friendly Center.
It was such a gift to be able to spend the day with these fantastic people,” said Federation Outreach and Engagement Manager, Nichol Walters, who coordinated the events. “I am thankful to be part of a Jewish community that prioritizes these connections to Israel.
The Federation invites you to become part of the P2G experience, whether by hosting visiting guests, joining youth exchanges, or engaging in meaningful cultural opportunities. To learn more or get involved, email Nichol Walters at nwalters@shalomgreensboro.org.
