MAKOM is changing the communal conversation about Israel.

In 2004 North American Jewish communities and the Jewish Agency began a partnership now called MAKOM – the Israel Engagement Network.  Through this network we have succeeded in laying intellectual groundwork and inspiring new initiatives that have significantly advanced the field of Israel education.  Currently, 13 Federations are part of this network. 

MAKOM operates on two levels. 

• On the first level it is a way of looking at Israel engagement in a creative way which creates dynamic new approaches and models for Israel education and programming.
• On the second level  Makom is a joint commitment between The Jewish Agency and a community to engage in a two-year process, create change within the community and develop new communal capacity and structures for Israel engagement.
