Blueprints for Change: October

Welcome to our monthly VOP update, where we pull back the curtain on our ongoing work to drive meaningful change in the global Jewish community. Here, we’re excited to share our recent accomplishments, current projects, and what’s on the horizon.

Laying the Foundation for the Council’s Work

We’ve been focused on building the structural backbone for the VOP council—a monumental task that requires collaboration with professionals from diverse fields, both in Israel and internationally. Here’s a look at what this foundational work has entailed:

Establishing a Council Structure: Multiple consultations with global experts are helping us design an impactful experience for our council members.
Developing Educational Programs: A robust framework for both council members and fellows is in the works, which includes custom-tailored training for leaders and unique educational materials to support each role.

Our People: Growing the VOP Team

Building a diverse and talented team has been crucial as we bring VOP’s vision to life in our new Tel Aviv offices. We’re proud to have assembled a dynamic, collaborative group working to elevate the mission amid today’s unique challenges.

New Office Space: After extensive searching, we’ve moved from an open workspace to dedicated offices in Tel Aviv, creating a true hub for VOP’s activities.
Strategic Partnerships: Establishing connections with influential organizations around the world to expand VOP’s reach.

Building Awareness: Marketing Efforts

Our marketing team has laid the foundation for a strong, recognizable VOP brand that will engage and inspire. Here are some highlights:

Website Launch: The bilingual VOP website is live and evolving, providing real-time updates on programs and events.
Launch Event: Our kickoff event with Gal Gadot introduced VOP’s mission to the world in a memorable way.
Brand Development: From visual branding to core messaging, our team has crafted a cohesive identity for VOP.
Digital Campaigns: Online PPC campaigns and social media efforts across Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram have broadened our reach.
Targeted Outreach: Focused efforts are underway to connect with Jewish communities worldwide, from ultra-Orthodox to French and Australian audiences.

On the Horizon: Major Initiatives in Motion

As we look ahead, several major initiatives are gearing up to launch, with a special council member gathering scheduled for the first half of 2025.

Convention Planning: We’re finalizing the venue, schedule and content for this transformative conference, dedicated to strengthening the global Jewish community.
Upcoming Events and Open Calls: Our calendar is packed with opportunities, from a pre-launch partner event to the council member open call.

With each of these initiatives, we’re thrilled to keep pushing VOP’s mission forward, striving for concrete change within the global Jewish community. Thanks for following along as we grow, evolve, and prepare for what’s next!
