We are all unique. Our narratives and legacy are a result of the stories our people have been telling for generations. Each of our Shlichim (Israeli emissaries) have a story too. In fact, they connect with many other stories as they meet so many diverse people along their journeys, and then share those with the Jewish people wherever they go. We created the Sipurim project to enable these stories to live a digital eternity. Our Shlichim are creating content that truly resonates on platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, connecting our people and their personal stories into one: the virtual story of our global Jewish family. Enjoy exploring.
Europe
London
How is it to work at the oldest Zionist youth movement in the world? Well…if you ask Gal-Osher, it is incredible! Working within a movement that leads thousands of Jewish teenagers in the United Kingdom through trips to Israel, summer camps and learning about Herzl – that cannot be boring.

Budapest
A soccer game of the Israeli national team was held in Budapest, Hungary. While thousands of Israelis have been evacuated and expelled from their houses in the south and north of Israel, due to the ongoing war, our Shlichah in Budapest was there to take displaced kids to the game, play with them, and give them some time of fun and relief.

Florida
Since October 7th, antisemitism is on the rise. Jewish students on campuses around the world find it difficult to communicate their concerns to their non-Jewish friends.
