  • 2013 / 2014 Performance Report
    2013 / 2014 Performance Report How is a program born? Much like any dream, it starts with the vision of a passionate individual, and comes into being through months and years of hard work. Strategic work to identify unfulfilled needs in relevant markets is followed by gauging feasibility. Next comes building strong programmatic content to answer those needs, as well as to advance the greater organizational mission. At the same time, there are partnerships to forge and resources to obtain. There are pilots to plan down to the last logistic, to evaluate, and to adjust accordingly. There are participants to keep in touch with; there are alliances to maintain. Often times, one or two individuals do several jobs for many years. They do it with a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and skill, because they believe in their “Why,” and because they are excellent at fulfilling the “What.” That is the magic of our people at The Jewish Agency for Israel, a microcosm of Jewish and Israeli Initiative and Inspiration. This is the story of our everyday visionaries, our employees, and the more than one million lives they touch through our programming every year. We dedicate this Annual Report to the best and the brightest: the dreamers and doers who sketch in their mind’s eye the many paths to the Jewish future, and ensure through relentless stewardship that these come alive, in living color. Our Vision: To ensure the future of a connected, committed, global Jewish People with a strong Israel at its center Our Mission: Inspire Jews throughout the world to

  • THE STATE of ISRAEL 70 YEARS of INDEPENDENCE - Building a Nation
    1 The Zionist General Council Session XXXVII/4 THE STATE OF ISRAEL 70 YEARS OF INDEPENDENCE - Building a Nation October 2018 2 Plenary No. 1 - Opening of the Zionist General Council Session Eli Cohen opened the first session and thanked the members of the audit committee and praised the auditor and his team, who - in their attempt to reach a level of satisfaction, which all can find to be acceptable - see all the flaws and improvements. Rabbi Yehiel Wasserman was invited to the stage for a ceremony conferring honorary fellowships to various members for their activities in the Zionist movement and their significant contribution to shaping its path and activities. This year, thanks to the WZO’s extensive activity over the past decade, quite a few people will be receiving this status. Honorary fellows are highly motivated individuals who have devoted many years of their time to the Zionist movement and who are role models for the next generation. Rabbi Wasserman then thanked the members of the Committee for Honorary Fellows: Barbara Goldstein, Silvio Joskowicz, Dalia Levy, Karma Cohen, Hernan Felman, Jacques Kupfer and Nava Avissar, the committee’s coordinator, for their dedicated work. Honorary Fellows: Mrs. Ana Marlene Starec – Mrs. Starec has been active in the Zionist movement for the past 54 years. She has been serving as Honorary President of WIZO for many years now and is also engaged in advocacy activities for Israel in the Diaspora in general, and with the Jewish communities of Brazil, in particular. Her human rights activities earned her a medal from the state of Rio de Janeiro, and she has also received a medal from the French Senate for her activities for humanity.
