The program’s objectives are to increase Israelis’ connection to the global Jewish family; increase their knowledge of global Jewry; create respectful, pluralistic discourse; increase awareness of the Jewish streams and identities in the municipality and the Jewish people generally; build connections between diverse populations within the municipality.
The process includes the establishment of a municipal steering committee under the authority of the mayor. We first identify the municipality’s assets and resources, including Jewish Agency assets that can be devoted to the process. The committee then undergoes training to familiarize them with the field of Peoplehood and create work plans. Finally, the municipality implements the work plan, in coordination with The Jewish Agency.
