Expanding Our Global Impact

After the remarkable success of Maccabi Women’s Forum and it's continuing growth across the globe over the past year, we're proud to introduce our latest projects — each one dedicated to empowering Jewish communities and advancing MWU's core values in a changing world.

Combating Antisemitism & the Delegitimization of Israel

A joint initiative with the Israeli Ministry of Diaspora and the fight against antisemitism, this program aims to strengthen the resilience of Jewish communities worldwide while defending Israel’s legitimacy on the global stage.

In the wake of October 7, antisemitic attacks and anti-Israel rhetoric have increased globally. This new initiative will bring together civil society organizations, Jewish communities, and key global players to respond with strategic, coordinated action — both online and on the ground. 

Focused  on education, digital media, academia, culture, and interfaith relations, the program works to expose disinformation, counter hate, and empower our communities with knowledge and advocacy tools. 

Please note: there is no open call for project proposals — the current submission round has ended. For more information, please contact Keren Koresh at: [email protected]

 

The Israelis Abroad Project

Since October 7, the need for connection, meaning and belonging has grown stronger than ever — especially among Israelis living abroad (almost 10% of Israel’s population).

The project is designed to support those communities by using Hebrew language, Israeli culture, and sports as powerful tools to deepen Identity and strengthen bonds. Through both in-person and digital platforms, activities will include cultural events, online fitness sessions with Israeli trainers, visits from Israeli athletes, and deep engagement with the upcoming 2026 Maccabiah.

Second Generation Leadership Forum

Created to nurture the next generation of Maccabi leaders, this new global forum — currently including 24 inspiring young members from Israel and around the world — features impactful sessions, thought-provoking lectures and engaging activities, preparing them to take on key roles in shaping our movement’s future.
