Welcome to Shalom Magazine - Massachusetts

We do not know who the Jewish leaders of tomorrow will be. Neither is there an explicit formula, or specific training for those that will take our communities into the future. Judaism has many facets, communities are pluralistic, and our relation to Israel takes into account all of the dimensions of our societies. Future Jewish leaders need to be able to deal with diversity and adversity, inside and outside the Jewish people.
Meanwhile, the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs is making an effort to guarantee that at least the next generation of leaders is deeply committed to advocate for Israel and maintain the strong connection between our land and the Diaspora. In this vein, the MFA is currently organizing seminars for young Jewish leaders all over the world.
