We've continued our mission of bringing people together through different virtual programs & initiatives.

'Connecting @ Home Series' is anything but your average Zoom program. This program brings Americans & Israelis together through a shared virtual experience over the course of four sessions. Chicagoans can participate in community focused groups that concentrate on meeting new people, creating community, connecting through meaningful conversations, and sharing new perspectives.
