Federation Impact: Beneficiary Agency Spotlight

As a means of bettering our greater Charlotte Jewish community, Jewish Federation of Greater Charlotte allocates donation funds to local Jewish organizations that embody Jewish values and overall better our community. In recognition of their work, we at Federation wish to bring attention to these organizations and the good that they do.

As part of our mission to connect Jews globally and strengthen our community’s ties to Israel, Jewish Federation of Greater Charlotte is a proud participant in The Jewish Agency for Israel initiative “Partnership2Gether,” or P2G for short. The Charlotte and Hadera-Eiron P2G serves as a bridge between the Jewish communities of Charlotte and the Hadera-Eiron region in Israel, fostering deep, meaningful connections that transcend geographical boundaries.

Partnership 2Gether creates life-changing experiences by connecting individuals from both communities through people-to-people exchanges and joint programs. These initiatives not only build lifelong relationships but also provide opportunities for participants to explore their Jewish identity, volunteer, and bond over shared concerns. Whether it's through staying in each other's homes or participating in collaborative projects like the upcoming Hinneini exhibit, the connections forged through P2G have enriched the lives of countless individuals on both sides of the ocean.

Jewish Federation of Greater Charlotte's commitment to the Hadera-Eiron region extends beyond the P2G program. Federation actively supports various organizations operating in the region, further solidifying the bond between the two communities. For over 20 years, this partnership has grown stronger, with Charlotteans embracing Hadera-Eiron as a part of their extended Jewish family.

Located along Israel's Mediterranean Coastal Plain, Hadera is a city steeped in history and modern Zionism. Founded in 1891 by Eastern European immigrants as a farming community, Hadera has grown into the fourth-largest city in Israel. Today, the Hadera-Eiron region is a vibrant and diverse community, home to a mix of Jewish and Arab towns and villages.

The impact of the Charlotte and Hadera-Eiron Partnership 2Gether is far-reaching. It strengthens the ties between the Jewish people in Charlotte and Israel, fostering a sense of Jewish peoplehood that transcends borders. Through the generous support of donors and the Jewish community, the P2G program continues to create opportunities for connection, learning, and shared experiences, ensuring that the bond between Charlotte and Hadera-Eiron remains strong for generations to come.
