Together in difficult times

Activities and things to do during the coronavirus crisis

Coronavirus

As we all struggle to cope with this new reality, everyone at The Jewish Agency is still working to bring us closer together – if not physically, then certainly in the virtual space. We will be updating this page continuously with content and things to do, so please check back frequently. We wish everyone health and know that we will get through this – Every one of us, together.

EVERY ONE OF US, TOGETHER.
