Saturday, July 20, 2024 • 14 Tammuz 5784

10:45 AM - 11:15 AM

From his tenure as the Senior Shaliach at The Jewish Federation of Greater Washington, Hagai will present the project's vision and trace its evolution from the onset of Covid to October 7th. He will offer reflections and insights on this journey, highlighting both challenges faced and opportunities seized.

Hagai is the Senior Shaliach to the Jewish Federation of Greater Washington. He aspires to strengthen the Jewish community's connection to Israel and to fortify the community's values through its link to Israel. For 10 years he worked mainly in Israel's geographic and social periphery, including south Tel Aviv and the Galilee. From 2014–2017, Hagai was The Jewish Agency’s emissary to Cape Town, South Africa, where he managed the Cape Town Israel Centre. Between 2017 and 2021, Hagai worked for Israel’s Ministry of the Economy. Hagai has a BA in Philosophy and Computer Science, and is a group facilitator by training. He lives in Rockville with his wife Anne and three children.

During the summer months, we invite members of our community to speak on Shabbat mornings and address the congregation about the interesting ways that they connect special experiences to their Jewish identities. All presentations take place during Shabbat services, at approximately 10:45 AM.
