Connections Israel was founded in 1998 as an independent, educational, not-for-profit organization that provides services for Jewish communities and schools around the world enabling them to show support for Israel in a variety of ways.

Our primary focus is to help implement educational programs in schools and communities that will strengthen the connections between the Jews outside of Israel and the IDF soldiers.

The program evolves around discussions, movies, and a call to action regarding the relationship between the Diaspora Jews and the fighting Israeli soldiers.

We encourage the participants to write letters to the soldiers and create a fundraising event in which the funds will go towards purchasing gift baskets on major holidays for the soldiers

Each soldier receives a gift basket with a personalized letter and in return the school/community receives a large photo of the unit that received the baskets and a thank you letter from the Army unit.

Last year over 80 schools and communities participated and over 3000 gifts were delivered to soldiers !!! This year we are setting a personal goal to try and raise enough funds to deliver 10,000 gift baskets and we hope that we can count on you and your esteemed community to make this possible!

If your community would prefer to support victims of terror or the struggling citizens of Sderot, we could also provide an educational program with a similar call for action.

This Rosh Hashanah, Connections Israel plans to deliver a holiday gift basket to every family in Sderot (10,000) with a letter of support from a Jewish family overseas. This project will connect families and communities in a major expression of Jewish unity.
