Project “JCC Global – Our Roots”

Our Roots engages 30 families in exploring Jewish heritage and identity through joint Zoom conversations and weekly WhatsApp prompts that spark reflection and dialogue across borders. In addition to the online exchanges, local in-person gatherings are taking place—including a recent meeting in Khmelnytskyi, where families shared personal stories and deepened cross-cultural connections.

​

Mentorship:

The partnership has concentrated on launching and implementing the joint project. To ensure the mentorship component is tailored to local needs, a needs assessment questionnaire was sent to the Khmelnytskyi team to better understand their specific challenges and priorities.
