About Mosaic United

There’s no secret formula for Jewish engagement. Young Jews around the world are less affiliated with Jewish life and more distant from Israel than previous generations. They require a wide spectrum of experiences and educational opportunities from which to choose and be inspired. Appreciating the value of Jewish community, continuity and connectivity is dependent upon their continued engagement – throughout their formative years, rather than at specific flashpoints. Mosaic United  is a partnership between the State of Israel and the global Jewish community dedicated to:

• Mapping the broad spectrum of Jewish experiential opportunities
• Strengthening each area of engagement
• Increasing the number of meaningful interactions
• Deepening the impact of Jewish experiences for millennials ages 12-35

Navigating the numerous wide-ranging approaches to Jewish engagement, Mosaic United acts as the ultimate amplifier, incubator, and connector for impactful and innovative Jewish organizations, educators and philanthropists around the world. By employing a “continuum strategy,” Mosaic United reaches young Jewish women and men at every key stage of life, empowering them to develop deeper connections to their Jewish heritage and identities and forge stronger bonds with Israel.

Leveraging the support of the Israeli Government and international supporters, Mosaic United’s ‘Campus Pillar’ provides the three leading Jewish organizations on college campuses worldwide – Hillel International, Chabad on Campus International and Olami – with the tools, funding and benchmarks they need to increase the number of educational initiatives and immersive experiences they can offer to under-engaged university students to spotlight Jewish identity and connection to Israel.

Mosaic United has developed ‘Shalom Corps,’ an initiative in partnership with the Jewish Agency for Israel, and in collaboration with additional partners, that aims to dramatically increase the number of young Jews engaging in meaningful, ethical and sustainable service while exploring their Jewish identities. Shalom Corps – Mosaic United’s ‘Service Pillar’ – makes Jewish service experiences more accessible to Jewish millennials while strengthening and broadening their reach and incorporating Jewish service learning authentically within the volunteer programming. By allowing young Jewish participants to view their volunteer work through the lens of Jewish values, Shalom Corps strengthens both the service work and the identities of the volunteers themselves.
