Yisraelink was established in 2001 to reconnect Israelis in the Chicago area to their Jewish roots, Israeli culture and community. Accomplished by offering a wide array of programs and activities that emphasize Jewish Education and Israeli culture, Yisraelink fosters a strong Jewish identity and sense of pride in both adults and children. Our outreach includes: the Maccabim Sunday School; Bar/Bat mitzvah programs; Israeli library; An Israeli Synagogue; Jewish holidays and celebrations in an Israeli atmosphere; monthly lectures on Jewish culture and identity; weekly business ethics and Talmud discussions; family events and outings; singles events; weekend shabbatons; and assistance with Jewish lifecycle events.
