Partnership 2Gether: Shortening the Distance Between Us

Partnership 2Gether (P2G) creates relationships between the people of the Hadera-Eiron region in Israel and 10 southeastern US communities. Here in Charleston, that has so far manifested itself in peer to peer programs for young leaders, customized touring and home hospitality in the region for Charlestonians that visit Israel, and educational programming that connects teachers and students between the two communities.

We send teachers to Israel to learn about the Israeli school system . During their visit, the educators tour in the region and learn about the history and culture of the Israeli people. Side trips are offered for visits to Jerusalem, Masada and the Dead Sea. "Twinning" programs, where classrooms can become pen pals, are also available to any teacher in the Charleston area.

Leadership 2Gether

Charleston's premiere opportunity for young Jewish professionals to connect with Israeli peers and share their experiences, Jewish identity, and visit one another's countries.

Exchange Missions

Face-to-face encounters in a variety of professional and personal areas: artists, doctors, firefighters, teen youth missions and more.
