Chicago's Home for Israeli Jews — Open to All
Merkaz Israeli Be Chicago is the heart of the Israeli Jewish community in Chicago — a place where Israelis can connect with their homeland's culture, traditions, and each other while building a vibrant life in America.
While our community is primarily Israeli, we warmly welcome all Jews who wish to join us. Our mission is to preserve and celebrate Israeli Jewish identity, provide a Hebrew-speaking home away from home, and foster meaningful connections rooted in our shared heritage.
We are committed to strengthening Israeli-Jewish bonds across generations and promoting the values that unite us:
