Israel & Overseas

Community Shaliach

A shaliach is an emissary, sent to Delaware through a partnership with the Jewish Agency for Israel and Federation's Israel and Overseas Committee, strengthening our community’s connection to Israel and the Israeli people. The shaliach provides educational programming for the entire Jewish community and also serves as an advocate for Israel within both the Jewish and broader community.

Welcome our new Shaliach, Yuval Moha!
