Israel & Overseas

The Israel and Overseas department enhances the profile of what we do at Federation by touching lives around the world. Throughout the years Jewish Federation’s Israel and Overseas Department brings a little bit of Israel to the Winnipeg community by presenting and supporting the following programs: March of the Living, Partnership 2Gether, Missions, Birthright Canada Israel Experience, and international volunteer experiences.

Our Israel and Overseas Department is dedicated to improving the lives of Jews in Israel and around the world by building connections with our own community. We work with our partner agencies to support struggling regions, facilitate volunteer opportunities and strengthen the Canada-Israel relationship.
