B’nai B’rith Israel was thrilled to host Micol Di Gioacchino, President of B’nai B’rith’s Young Professionals Lodge in Rome , who was visiting Israel. Micol met with Sarit Ori, Chairperson of B’nai B’rith Israel’s Young Lodges, and Elise Shazar, B’nai B’rith Israel VP for International Relations, at the ANU Museum of the Jewish People. After a short tour and explanation about the Museum, the meeting focused on possible avenues for collaboration between young lodges in Israel and young lodges of BBA in Europe. Opportunities for networking work were discussed as well as the possibility of establishing a project whereby B’nai B’rith Israel would support olim from Rome during their first steps in the country. This is the first step in creating connections between younger leaders of B’nai Brith from Israel and and young members of lodges of BBA.
