Engaging with the municipal leaders to create sustainable housing options for Olim that will help encourage community growth and long-term sustainability.

Expanding the options for exploring the possibility of Aliyah and considering fluctuating reality and needs, the institute will identify, prioritize and create recommendations for opportunities for professionals/young families to live in Israel temporarily as a potential “gateway” to Aliyah without requiring it.

We will be a voice for Global Jewry and educate the Israeli public about antisemitism and the challenges Jewish communities face abroad. Giving Israelis the tools to empathize and understand our collective challenge.

Working to adjust the taxation implication on those who are making Aliyah as dual citizens. For many, particularly Americans where there is no treaty, this has become a huge financial deterrent and makes their dreams of Aliyah unobtainable. 

Acknowledging the imperative to shift the paradigm and create an understanding for Olim to have access to loved ones, always and at challenging times in particular, we will advocate on behalf of all Olim, for consistent, holistic entry/exit policies that take them into account in decision making processes. As citizens who by definition have parted from loved ones when realizing personal and collective vision and mission, Olim must be considered as a unique designated group.

Being the voice for our Lone Soldiers and Lone B’not Sherut. Advocating on their behalf to ensure they are getting the proper benefits and support to successfully transition into civilian life post-Army/ national service.
