Mizrachi Leaders in the National Institutions

Mizrachi’s representative in the National Institutions Gael Grunewald is Deputy Chairperson of the World Zionist Organization and Head of the WZO’s Department of Education. His department has recruited and trained an additional 90 Morim Shlichim who are going out to communities around the world. This brings the total of Educational Shlichim for this coming year to well over 200. Regular visits to communities and schools around the world are a constant, such as his visit to the Budapest University of Jewish Studies (top), and addressing a Momentum trip for French women to Israel (bottom).

In June 2023, the Center for Religious Affairs in the Diaspora organized a European Young Professionals Weekend in Paris with 70 participants from 15 different countries, including Ukraine, Sweden, Norway, Poland, Russia, Turkiye and Portugal. The weekend’s focus was on Jewish identity and their connection to Israel.

The Center for Religious Affairs in the Diaspora of the World Zionist Organization is headed by Roi Abecassis, Deputy Chairman of Keren Kayemet Le’Yisrael and World Mizrachi representative in the National Institutions.
