Your Federation Dollars at Work: 

A Living Bridge to Israel

Each year, our Israeli Emissary serves as a living bridge between Greater Fairfield County and Israel — bringing the spirit, stories, and heart of Israel to life in our community.


From inspiring youth in Hebrew schools and teens at Merkaz and BBYO, to engaging young families through PJ Library and PJ Our Way, and enriching adults through meaningful programs and synagogue connections — our emissary touches lives across every generation.


Through the Israeli Emissary Program, we:

  • Inspire youth and teens with engaging lessons, cultural exchanges, and Israel-centered discussions.


  • Strengthen Jewish identity through storytelling, celebration, and shared traditions.


  • Connect families and adults to Israel through interactive programs and community events.


  • Foster lasting relationships between Fairfield County and our partner communities in Israel.

Through celebration, learning, and shared experiences, this special program deepens our understanding of Israel and strengthens the bonds that unite us as one global Jewish family.


Your support makes this connection possible. Join us in keeping Israel close to our hearts and alive in our community.
