Israel
In keeping with our core value of K'lal Yisrael, the Jewish Federation of Howard County continues as always to focus on our brothers and sisters in Israel. The Israel Committee creates programs and events that help educate the community about Israel; including a speaker series and Israeli holiday programs for Yom Ha'Atzmaut and Yom Hazikaron.
Join Israel Café with Ortal! We meet monthly from November 2022 through June 2023. Join us in person or virtually – you can choose when you register. Dive into Israeli peoplehood and culture and get to know Ortal Zinger, JAFI shlicha!
​Shlichut is an outreach program that brings shlichim (cultural emissaries) from Israel to live and work in Howard County. The shaliach works with synagogues, preschools, religious schools, youth groups and others to create and promote Israel-related activities in Howard County.
Travel to Israel on a Federation mission to experience all that Israel has to offer with your friends and neighbors from right here in Howard County. Discover the old and the new while connecting with the roots of Judaism and the modern state of Israel.
