Shalom to our new shlichot and shinshinim! We are delighted to welcome our new Shinshinim and Zionist Seminar Shlichot to the Cape Town Jewish community!
Arriving from Israel with energy, curiosity, and a deep passion for Jewish life, they join us to share their personal stories, culture, and experiences in creative, inspiring ways. Over the coming year, they will bring Israel to life in our schools, youth movements, and community spaces. We look forward to learning, celebrating, sparking conversation, building friendships, and creating memories together – deepening our understanding of Israel and strengthening the bonds between our communities. In true Cape Town spirit, we welcome them as family, ready to learn, laugh, and grow together.

Executive Director SAZFCC
