PARTNERSHIP 2GETHER

No visit to Israel is complete without a visit to our P2G sister community, the Hadera-Eiron Region, where Israel's ancient history meets Israel's modern history. 

These teens - taking a break from a poolside party at the GJCC - are some of the most important reasons for what we do in Federation.  They come from the Hadera-Eiron region in Israel and from the American cities with which we, Nashville,  are paired through the Southeastern Consortium Partnership2gether Program of the Jewish Agency.  These 14-to-17-year-olds held a Mifgash (meeting) here in Nashville earlier this week.  Nashville's Get Connected participants spent time with their counterparts in Israel in June and then reunited shortly afterward in the United States.  Time after time, they talked about how they now had "family" in each other's countries.  In a few years, they'll be leading their Jewish communities, and these long-lasting overseas friendships will serve them well.  To learn more about P2G, click here.
