Married to Nitzan and mother of 3, Shimrit lives in Pardes-Hanna Karkur. After being a summer Shlicha in Richmond, VA, more than 20 years ago, Shimrit returned to P2G as Programs Coordinator and quicly felt home with friends and family in Israel and in our Jewish communities. Most of the time you can find her hiking or going down from cliffs.


Our Partnership, for more than 20 years, cultivates close friendships between the ten US Jewish Communities in Charlotte, NC, Greensboro, NC, Charleston, SC, Chattanooga & Nashville, TN, Lee & Charlotte Counties, FL, Florida's Gulf Coast & Northeast Florida, and Richmond, VA, Prague, CR and the Hadera- Eiron Region that consist the City of Hadera, Pardes-Hanna-Karkur, Menashe Regional Council and Alona Local Council in Israel. We run a variety of programs such as cultural exchanges, teacher exchanges, teen exchanges, leadership programming and other activities which build relationships between our US Consortium Communities and the Hadera- Eiron Region. The impact of these projects goes far beyond the community level—each of us has the opportunity to become directly and personally involved.
