Israel and World Jewry –
Partnering and Collaborating

North Shore Israel Fund  

The mission of NSJF is to inspire, strengthen, celebrate and perpetuate bonds with Israel and to share responsibility for world Jewry.
Founded in 2009 and partnering with JFNS, the North Shore Israel Fund (NSIF) is dedicated to inspiring the community through Israel-related programs with educational, cultural, social and spiritual themes.
Institutions and organizations are encouraged to apply for grants for Israel-related programming. For more information about the NSIF or to apply for a grant, please email Laura Shulman Brochstein, or call 978-224-4095.

Missions and Travel
JFNS offers opportunities for missions to Israel and Jewish sites across the globe in conjunction with Jewish Federation of North America and other communities. On a mission, participants of all ages find adventure, explore Jewish heritage and see dollars at work. Travelers on missions meet local residents, community leaders, area experts and political personalities from around the world.  Missions may include Western Europe, Argentina, the former Soviet Union – and, of course, Israel.
