Kesher Yehudi: Connecting worlds
Kesher Yehudi is a social movement born in response to the rift tearing apart Israeli society. With millions of enemies who wish to destroy us and our land, we simply cannot allow ourselves to be divided and weakened from within. As a beautiful, lonely nation, we share a magnificent legacy.
The Torah and our Jewish identity are our greatest national assets.
Our unity and social cohesion are the keys to our national resilience.It is with the fervent belief in both these statements that we strive to connect disparate groups.
How? Through Kesher Yehudi – Jewish connection.
Kesher Yehudi builds awareness among young intellectuals from various sectors in Israel – religious, non-religious and ultra-Orthodox – prompting them to open-mindedly get to know a partner from the “other” sector. Our Jewish legacy belongs to all of us, and thus, participants in both our Mechina and Chavruta programs meet regularly to study Torah, the link to finding common ground and building lasting relationships.
In 2016, Kesher Yehudi received the prestigious Jerusalem Unity Prize from the former president of Israel, Mr. Reuven Rivlin, “for creating a unique platform with an enormous potential for engendering true connections and increasing feelings of unity, identification and mutuality among the Jewish nation.”
Navigating the transition from an outdated Access-based system to a streamlined membership management system was a significant challenge, particularly within the diverse spectrum of our organization, spanning from ultra-orthodox to secular mentors.
In a transformative project, we elevated the digital capacities of our organization, focusing on efficient management, real-time monitoring, and insightful data analysis. Central to this evolution was the implementation of Salesforce’s NPSP package, empowering us with a robust suite of tools and functionalities.
Our enhancements encompassed various critical areas, including:
Simplifying the admission and intake processes for both students and volunteers, ensuring a seamless experience and swift onboarding.
Implementing intelligent algorithms to match students with suitable volunteers, fostering meaningful and productive connections.
Strengthening relationships with key stakeholders, including students, volunteers, partners, and donors, through enhanced communication channels and tailored engagement strategies.
Introducing task management features, along with streamlined logging of calls and meeting documentation, ensuring every interaction is recorded and acted upon promptly.
Providing volunteers with robust personal and group communication tools, facilitating efficient collaboration and information sharing.
Enhancing the management of donors and donations, ensuring transparency and accountability in financial transactions.
Implementing smart reporting and dashboard functionalities, offering real-time insights into organizational performance and impact metrics.
Implementing intelligent automation for repetitive tasks, freeing up valuable human resources for more strategic and impactful endeavors.
Migrating data seamlessly from the legacy system to Salesforce, preserving data integrity and ensuring a smooth transition process.
Through this comprehensive digital transformation, we have not only adapted to modern technological standards but also significantly enhanced our operational efficiency and effectiveness. The Salesforce NPSP package has become the cornerstone of our organizational prowess, enabling us to focus more on our mission – fostering mentorship and education – while the system takes care of the complexities of data management and analysis. This strategic shift has positioned us for sustainable growth and lasting impact, irrespective of the diversity within our community.
