Partnership2Gether
Our Jewish Federation has emerged as a key leader in our Partnership2Gether program, which brings together the Hadera-Eiron region in north central Israel and several Jewish communities in the southeastern United States, including Nashville, and the Czech Republic, including Prague. Nashvillians are taking national leadership roles with the P2G Joint Steering Committee and on the Jewish Federations of North America’s board of trustees.
Nashville is proud to participate in the Jewish Agency for Israel's (JAFI) Partnership2Gether (P2G) program connecting Jews in Israel, the United States, and the rest of the world through "sister city" style regional partnerships.
Through this program, Nashville is part of a consortium of Jewish communities in the Southeast United States including Charlotte, Charleston, Chattanooga, Florida's Gulf Coast, Greensboro, Northeast Florida, Lee and Charlotte Counties in Florida, and Richmond which has a partnership with the Hadera-Eiron region in Israel as well as the Jewish communities of the Czech Republic.
The Hadera-Eiron region in Israel includes the City of Hadera, Pardes Hanna-Karkur, Menashe Regional Council, and Alona Local Council in the Haifa district in northern Israel.
The Partnership aims to deepen our communities' relationship with Israel through one-on-one relationship building between Americans, Israelis, and Czechs of all ages. Participants in Partnership programs develop a more personal, three-dimensional relationship with Israel and with Jews all over the world. For over 20 years, this Partnership has built deep, long-lasting friendships between people and communities and has helped build understanding and respect between Jews all over the world.
These relationships are built through programs like the Get Connected summer teen high school trip, the One2One program matching American teachers with Israeli teens learning English, and the Local2Global (L2G) virtual exchange program. The Partnership is also integrated into Israel activities throughout our Consortium, including Birthright trips and solidarity missions.
As of August 2023, the Partnership's stateside activities are operated out of Nashville.
