The agency, known as “Sokhnut” among its stakeholders, is the official name of the Jewish Agency for Israel, whose main area of activity is the repatriation of ethnic Jews to their historical homeland.
Jewish Agency "Sokhnut"
Despite the fact that the state of Israel has a long history dating back several thousand years, in its modern form in its present borders it appeared relatively recently - in 1948. One of the main issues that arose immediately after its creation was the repatriation to the new homeland of ethnic Jews, who at that time lived in different parts of the world.
These powers were transferred to the Jewish Agency "Dry", which in reality was founded almost 20 years earlier - in 1929. In the process of developing and expanding its activities, the agency gradually created an extensive network of branches and representative offices around the world, including Russia and the CIS countries. Its official full name on the territory of the Russian Federation is the Jewish Agency for Israel, and the abbreviated name is ANO "Sokhnut".
According to the official website of the organization http://www.jewishagency.org, its main goal is to ensure the continuity of generations of Jews and to strengthen the relationship of ethnic Jews, especially youth, with the state of Israel. To achieve this goal, the agency not only implements the program of repatriation to the state of Israel, but also holds numerous training and educational events at which all interested persons can learn more about the history of the traditions of this ancient country.
