Department of Zionist Activity in the Diaspora

Slide 2 of 2.

The Department of Zionist Activity in Diaspora is responsible for connecting the World Zionist Organization to Jewish federations, communities, organizations all over the world. We believe strongly that Israel is an essential part of the Jewish identity. Our mission is to connect Jews to Israel through partnerships with local organizations, impactful experiences, and educational programs.

We put an emphasis on building and exploring innovative projects and tools to accomplish these goals and reach new audiences and communities and most importantly, the younger generation. Ultimately, these joint efforts between our department and Jewish communities worldwide lead to longer lasting relationships, deeper connections to Israel and greater impact.

Our department works with communities in North America, Latin America, Europe and Australia and the department staff is made up of English, French, Spanish and Hebrew speakers.
