FOUNDED IN 2015
The Z3 Project is an initiative of the OFJCC, bringing together prominent figures from various walks of life, to share their perspectives and to engage in discussions and debates. Our objective is to foster a fresh approach to Jewish engagement in the 21st century. Our mission remains as ambitious as ever – to provide a unique opportunity for people from all backgrounds to come together and contribute to the shaping of a stronger bond between the global Jewish community and Israel.
Our core operating principles
The Z3 Project aims to honor our differences while working for the oneness of the Jewish People.
Unity, Not Uniformity
Engaging as Equal Partners
The Z3 Project brings together Israelis and Diaspora Jews to build our common future.
The Z3 Project convenes Zionists of differing backgrounds and perspectives across the political and religious spectrums.
Diversity of Voices
It was great to see so many Israel-infused programs that we could potentially copy or modify to bring to our J.”

Our Purpose
For the first time in Jewish history, there is both a strong Jewish Homeland and a strong Jewish Diaspora. This raises fundamental questions about our Jewish future. What will the relationship between these two thriving centers of Jewish life look like? Will there even be an intersection, or will two separate and distinct Jewish populations and cultures develop over the next several generations? The new paradigm for that relationship is Zionism 3.0.
We Believe
Elevating the relationship between Diaspora Jews and Israel is of critical importance to the flourishing of our people. We invite you to join the conversation, in hopes that together, we can bridge knowledge and emotional gaps between our communities.
