JFNA King David Society Mission
United Arab Emirates
January 22-28, 2024
We are thrilled to announce a national mission to the United Arab Emirates. The signing of the Abraham Accords, Israel’s establishment of diplomatic relations with the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, marked the first instance of Arab-Israeli normalization since 1994, when the Israel-Jordan peace treaty came into effect changed the course of Jewish life in the United Arab Emirates, the region, and potentially the world. There was a long path leading to this historic outcome – and the UAE’s Jewish community has been at the heart of it.
A small number of Jews had been coming to the UAE for decades, for the most part, leading very private lives. The community, as we now know it, began to meet informally in 2008, when a few families first found each other and started gathering for Shabbat and other holidays. They met in secret, aware of the sensitivities of the country and region. Over time, contact and relationships were established with some government officials and the community has continued to grow. The first new Jewish community in the heart of the Arab world in centuries is now an important destination for Jewish organizations and delegation visits.
This mission is open to donors at the King David Society and above. King David Society is a national recognition society for those donors who support their local campaigns with a minimum gift of $25,000.
