What is Partnership2Gether (P2G)?

Dayton along with 15 other US communities and Budapest, Hungary has a very special relationship with the Central Region of the Western Galilee in Israel. Together we share cultural resources and overseas experiences that strengthen our global Jewish identity through people-to-people relationships, social interactions, and educational programs relating to education, medical innovation, economic development and so much more. Partnership2Gether is a program of the Jewish Agency for Israel.

Our Partnership Consortium is the largest Partnership with the Jewish Agency. We are:

Mateh Asher and Akko Israel; Dayton, Toledo, and Youngstown Ohio; Fort Wayne, Indianapolis, Northwest Indiana, and South Bend Indiana; Louisville, Kentucky; Des Moines, Iowa; Omaha, Nebraska; Buffalo, New York; Austin, Fort Worth, and San Antonio, Texas; Peoria and Springfield Illinois; and Budapest, Hungary

Last Sunday, the Dayton Daily News published opinion pieces from three Jewish community leaders ~ Jeff Blumer (Jewish Community Relations Council Director), Rabbi Karen Bodney-Halasz (Senior Rabbi at Temple Israel) and Rabbi Judy Chessin (Senior Rabbi at Temple Beth Or) ~ each brilliantly capturing their views...

Eighty Years Later

Ohio Governor Mike DeWine shared the story of his father, who participated in the liberation of Dachau as part of...
