A brand is how all these elements come together to help determine what people feel
and think you are as an organization, company or service.
Our goal is to always portray one entity, one brand and one consistent image to the
outside world for The Jewish Agency for Israel.
This brand book serves that purpose. It’s meant to assist the application of our
brand identity when producing all Jewish Agency communication materials. Whether
through the graphic language we apply or the words we use, staying true to our brand
and remaining consistent is key.
There are hard set rules here. But there are also many elements that serve as a
guide of what something ‘could’ look like. Not all possible variants are included, so
all materials should be checked and approved by The Jewish Agency for Israel’s
marketing department prior to usage.

SECTION 01
For over 85 years, our Jewish story has been strengthened by The Jewish Agency
for Israel.
After achieving our initial goal of establishing a secure homeland in Israel for all Jews,
we turned our attention to helping Jews in peril come home. To make Aliyah.
Because as the needs of our people change over the years, so does our response.
Today, too many of us are disconnecting from each other, our land and our shared
heritage at an alarming rate, losing the sense of connection that has bound us together
for millennia.
So today, The Jewish Agency connects Israel, Israelis and the Jewish people
worldwide. We bring Jews to Israel and Israel to Jewish communities, help vulnerable
Israelis, and enable Jews to make Aliyah.
The Jewish Agency works every day to enable Jewish people to meet and get to
know one another. To work and live together for a time. Because we thrive when our
roots are planted in common ground.
OUR VISION
To ensure that every Jewish person is a part of the Jewish story by connecting them
to each other and to Israel.
OUR MISSION
Our mission today is to do all we can to ensure that every Jewish person feels an
unbreakable bond to one another and to Israel no matter where they are in the world,
so that they can continue to play their critical role in our ongoing Jewish story.
The Jewish Agency is grateful to The Jewish Federations of North America, Keren
Hayesod-UIA, the World Zionist Organization and our major donors around the world
who have partnered with us to help fulfill our mission.
For thousands of years, we’ve been a people bound together in values and beliefs, in
dreams, in heritage and in destiny.
Our shared traditions, struggles and immense pride in who we are, along with what
we’ve accomplished and contributed to the world, bind us all together and make us
strong. As does our shared dream of a Jewish homeland in Israel.
It’s these bonds that make us feel a part of something. A part of the rich, colorful,
forever evolving Jewish story.
To keep our story going, we need to harness and nurture these bonds. To celebrate
them. To continue to build these lasting bonds with each other. And with Israel.
The Jewish Agency for Israel is here to show what it means to be a part of the incredible
story of our people. We’re here to remind each and every one of us that we’re all
essential threads in the vibrant tapestry of the Jewish story and of Israel.
Only by remaining personally connected will we, the Jewish people, continue to thrive.

HISTORICAL ACHIEVEMENTS
In 1948, we officially founded the State of Israel and The Jewish Agency served as
Israel’s Provisional Government. The Jewish Agency’s Chairman, David Ben-Gurion,
became Israel’s first Prime Minister.
• Helped more than 3 million Jews around the world, including Holocaust survivors
and Jews at risk, find a safe-haven and new life in Israel, through Aliyah.
• Created many essential Israeli institutions including EL AL, Mekorot, the Tel Aviv
Port and more.
• Integrated millions of Olim into Israel society.
• Built more than 900 communities in Israel.
• Been a first responder with humanitarian aid in each and every crisis that the people
of Israel have endured.
• Promoted Zionism as a key element of Jewish education to ensure a stronger
Jewish future.
The Jewish Agency works in more than 500 Jewish communities around the world
and in Israel to secure the Jewish future for generations. We have the experience, the
capacity, and the global partners to confront collective challenges and leverage these
partnerships to rediscover a united sense of Jewish purpose.

BRAND BOOK
THE JEWISH AGENCY BRAND SECTION 02
Our brand is an incredibly valuable asset. It’s the story we tell the outside world about
who we are and the impression we want to make. It’s our promise to everyone who
engages with us about what we do, how we do it and why. Every employee, every
interaction, every sign, every email is a chance to send a message about what The
Jewish Agency stands for.
When our name and our work have positive connotations, it helps us attract people
who care about Israel and the Jewish people. It enables us to recruit the best and
brightest employees and ultimately raise the money we need to start new programs
and grow existing ones.
The Jewish Agency’s corporate identity is much more than just a logo – a lot more.
It’s our voice…our personality…it influences how those around us view The Jewish
Agency and our work around the world. It colors how they feel about our existing
programs and the decisions we make to launch new ones.
In order to maintain a consistent and unified brand with limited financial resources,
we need to be disciplined with our communications as an organization.
BRAND ATTRIBUTES
Every time you interact with someone, you come away with an impression. It’s either
good or bad or somewhere in between. Brands operate in the same way and a strong
brand is one that creates those good feelings in people who encounter it. We want
people to come away with a great impression and remember us and what we stand for.
We’re determined—bringing Jews home from the ends of the earth, reaching the
smallest communities and insisting on talking to the most skeptical people. We’ll do
whatever it takes.
We’re passionate. We have a love for all things Jewish and Israel.
We’re knowledgeable. Nobody has the knowledge that we have and that comes from
our immense experience.
Regardless of the audience, all of our written communications should strive to be two Some examples:

For headlines, always use proper grammar. So, for example, headlines must end
with a period.
Use contractions, and keep the tone informal. Instead of ‘we have...’, ‘we are...’, ‘it is...’,
‘they do not...’, etc. use:
• Our name must always appear as The Jewish Agency with a capitalized “T”.
• When The Jewish Agency appears in text but not as part of the logo, it should be
typeset in the font of the rest of the document, not the logo font.
LINKING ORGANIZATIONAL NAMES TO THE JEWISH AGENCY
Whenever a program of The Jewish Agency appears in writing (including on websites,
emails, flyers, t-shirts, giveaways, etc.), its first appearance MUST be written in the
following format:
Staff titles used publicly should not confuse people as to the organization for which
the employee works. In all cases: business cards, email signatures, and other public
uses, titles should read in a specific way.
INCORRECT USAGE:
CORRECT USAGE:
We should name our programs descriptively and clearly to make it easy for people
to understand what the program does and that it’s a program of The Jewish Agency.
A strong name usually takes 4 to 6 weeks to create. This process includes strategy
development, brainstorming, and legal clearance. If you’re launching a new program
or thinking of changing the name of an existing one, please reach out early in the
naming process to: marketing@jafi.org
EXAMPLE:
The Jewish Agency for Israel trains hundreds of Shlichim to bring Israel to campuses,
camps, and Federations. Our Shlichim bring a variety of skills, expertise, innovation,
and energy to the communities they operate in around the world. In addition to being
enthusiastic, vibrant, and talented Israelis, these Shlichim are the face of The Jewish
Agency everywhere they go, and they impart an enormous value to our overall brand.
A Shaliach should always refer to himslef/herself verbally and in any written format in
only the following way.

The Jewish Agency for Israel’s tagline is a summation and expression of what we
stand for—it is the essence of who we are, what we do, and how we do it and was
born directly from the manifesto.
Our tagline is decidedly to the point and straightforward. Whilst compelling and
inspiring, it evokes not only our purpose but also a call to action. Including the tagline
in our communications, where appropriate, will help inform and remind our various
audiences of The Jewish Agency’s brand promise.
