Shlichim (plural) are two or more individuals serving as emissaries on behalf of Israel to the Diaspora. After extensive training, these role models are placed in schools, synagogues, JCCs, camps, universities, youth movements, and Federations all over the globe. There, they engage with Jewish and non-Jewish people about Israel, teach Jewish heritage, and speak about issues of national and religious identity.

The Jewish Agency for Israel’s Shlichim provide a living connection to Israel by promoting Israeli experiences, facilitating Jewish social activism, and authentically modeling Israeli values and culture during their service abroad.
