Why We Exist
The global Jewish map is shifting. Today, 85% of Jews live in just two countries, the US and Israel. In corners of the world where Jewish life flourished for millennia, many communities have declined by 90% in a single generation.
We created Project Diaspora Expeditions because time is running out. We don't just visit monuments; we facilitate encounters with the people who have chosen to stay and sustain diaspora life against the odds.
