The Department for Irgoon and Connection with Israelis Abroad

The Department for Irgoon and Connection with Israelis Abroad was established at the 20th Zionist Congress (October 2020). For the first time in the national institutions, a department is established whose main function is the connection with Israelis in the Diaspora.

The department is responsible for four pillars of activity - Zionist federations, liaison with Israelis in the Diaspora, The Bialik Institute, and the Irgoon areas of the World Zionist Organization.

Join us for a meaningful experience!

Israelis Abroad

The main activity of the department is working with the Israelis in the Diaspora through a variety of unique programs and services such as: community events, educational content booklets, Hebrew schools, and many more. All this with the aim of connecting the Israelis in the Diaspora to the State of Israel, to the Israeli experience and to a Jewish identity.

Beit Ha'am Z-talks

Beit Ha’am includes over 30 educational units on a wide variety of topics which provide tools for educators and students to create conversations about the main issues engrossing the Zionist movement and the Jewish world in the 21st century.

Zionist Federations

An essential part of the department's work is the work with 36 Zionist federations from around the world. The department accompanies the federations in their Zionist and Jewish activities in the Diaspora, and is their connection with the World Zionist Organization.
