הישראלים שזוכים ליהנות מכספי הפילנתרופיה נחשפים לקשרים המיוחדים וחוצי היבשות אשר קיימים בעם היהודי על כל תפוצותיו השונות ומתחזקים מהידיעה ומהאחדות.

The relationship between the Jewish world and Israel is changing and Jewish philanthropy directed towards Israel needs to keep pace with these changes. My ideal Jewish philanthropy in Israel would be to build respectful partnerships and make efforts aimed at supporting structural solutions to pressing social, economic and political issues.

For many young Jews, the subject of philanthropy for the sake of Israel does not occupy much of their time. Whether it's because the issue is too political or too overwhelming, the topic often gets pushed aside in favor of other forms of philanthropy. But for some young Jewish philanthropists, Israel is an area that truly speaks to them. PT sat down with young philanthropists to discuss why giving to Israel can be an important and relevant issue in our day-to-day lives.

Elijah Dornstreich grew up on his parents’ organic farm in Bucks County, PA. Today, his philanthropy work impacts the Jewish community in the U.S., Israel, and throughout the world.

Jennifer Hoos Rothberg can trace her passion for philanthropy back to her childhood, when she would sit at the kitchen table doing homework and hear her mother on the phone making pitches for a variety of Jewish causes. When she would ask her mother the reason for her activism, the response was simple and sensible: “Because we have to make the world a better place than we found it.”

Like the preschool child, television is constantly developing. Of the many children’s programs throughout TV history, one stands out as “televisionary” for its successful mix of entertainment and education, and by adapting to suit the needs of its audience. In its humble beginnings in 1969, Sesame Street was created as an experimental project to help children from disadvantaged homes prepare to embark on their school experience. Today it is aired in over 140 different countries, producing content to suit each country’s needs.
