MAKING A DIFFERENCE
AROUND THE WORLD.
At the Greensboro Jewish Federation, part of our mission is to promote the welfare of the Jewish people in our community, in Israel and worldwide. Our connections with Israel and Jewish communities around the world include serving as an educational resource, advocating for Israel, and facilitating travel for local Jewish members abroad—to learn, teach, and inspire.
Through partner agencies, Jewish Federations of North America (JFNA), The Jewish Agency for Israel (JAFI), and the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC), Greensboro stands strong as a Jewish community nationally and touches Jewish lives around the globe.

The Greensboro Jewish Federation believes that Israel experiences are one of the best ways to strengthen Jewish identity and create deeper connections to the global Jewish community. We aim to make Israel experiences available and accessible to teens and young adults.

We encourage Greensboro teens and young adults to experience all that Israel has to offer.
