Help secure the Jewish future

More and more young Jews are increasingly opting out.

Young Jews are more disconnected than ever from their Jewish heritage. Connection with Israel is diminishing in each generation.

But there is one way to help secure the Jewish future, and ensure young Jews opt in.

It is by leveraging the digital universe to inspire exploration of Judaism and Israel in new, positive, and transformative ways. We captivate audiences with the timeless story of Jewish heritage and Israel across platforms worldwide. With over 25 million YouTube video views, 2.6 million social media engagements and 500,000 podcast downloads, we are a voice that is authentic and credible, and therefore trusted. We embrace complexity, and recognize and give voice to multiple perspectives on difficult issues. Our multi-channel platform approach leverages the potential and scale of media, allowing us to reach further than ever before in history.

Join our mission to secure the Jewish future and strengthen young people’s understanding of, and connection to, Israel, Judaism and the Jewish people. Your legacy gift can help us connect today’s generation, and tomorrow’s, and build a strong Jewish future.

Beneficiary gifts

RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS
