Connecting Israel to the Diaspora

On Thursday January 5th, World Mizrachi’s Center for Zionist Shlichut to the Diaspora hosted over 400 potential shlichim in Yerushalayim for its annual Shlichut Fair. Bringing together numerous Religious Zionist organizations who send shlichim, the evening allowed Israelis to hear about shlichut opportunities all over the world. The event was graced by the presence of Minister Ofir Sofer, the newly-appointed Minister of Aliyah and Absorption, and MK Ohad Tal, former head of the Center.

“At a time when there is a lot of discussion about Israel-Diaspora relations,” said Rav Hillel Van-Leuween, the head of the Center, “there is no better way of building connections than sending hundreds of shlichim. Through face-to-face relationships, they are a human bridge linking Jews around the world to Israel, and we are excited to see what they will achieve!”
