About Us
The Westchester Mishlachat (delegation) is a group of Jewish Agency for Israel’s Shlichim (emissaries), working with the wide Jewish community around Westchester, from early childhood to seniors, across all denominations and in every region in the county.
Our mission is to strengthen the bond between the Westchester Jewish community to Israel and building strong human relationships.
Our Mishlachat is comprised of one senior Shlicha (the head of the delegation), one junior Shlicha, 8 Shinshinim (gap year emissaries) and a coordinator for the Shinshinim program.

The Shinshin Program
The Shin-Shin program offers a transformative year of service for Israeli youth, allowing
them to volunteer before military duty. In Westchester, these young ambassadors
immerse themselves in local institutions to share Israeli culture, fostering connections
and understanding of contemporary Israel.
