Knesset Celebrates World Jewry with Beit Hatfutsot

The Ministry of Diaspora Affairs initiated a national day to mark and promote the relationship between Israel and global Jewish communities. Beit Hatfutsot, a leading educational and cultural institution, was invited to address members of the Knesset and present a display featuring projects from “The Jewish Lens”, one of the Museum’s leading international programs.

Dozens of guests and invitees were enamored with the innovative presentation and were familiarized with Beit Hatfutsot’s concepts for meaningful Jewish engagement. Two parliamentary committees were convened in order to review existing initiatives for strengthening close relationships with global communities, while exploring new ideas for additional future collaborations.
