Our campaign supports many of our community resources and programs. Increased gifts from community members allow us to increase resources to the community. It is an exciting spiritual, historical and personal adventure to the land of Israel. Some missions involve stops at other destinations such as the Former Soviet Union. Missions are for people of all ages and all interests.
Missions are a way to connect and build a bridge of understanding to our history and to our people.
The relationship between Jews here and Jews in Israel has changed over the years. It used to be a relationship based on Diaspora Jews helping Israel. Today, as Israel's economy strengthens and diversifies, the relationship is more of a shared approach to project management, human connections, and ultimately, Jewish continuity and renaissance. The bridge between Winnipeg and Israel's Galil Panhandle region is regularly crossed as contact with students from the Gray Academy of Jewish Education maintain frequent contact with students in the Galil. Through e-mail, letters, video conferences and visits, the students are learning more about each other and each other's countries.
