Are you a grandparent interested in enhancing your relationship with your grandchild while strengthening your collective Jewish identity? If so, G2 is for you! G2 is a joint project of Federation and the Jewish Agency for Israel, designed to nurture Jewish identity growth through conversations and activities surrounding philanthropy, Israel, family, and community.

As a grandparent today, you have a unique opportunity to bond with your grandchildren through similar life experiences – you most likely both grew up in this country and share such experiences as religious school and summer camp. In addition, you are healthier, more active, and more involved in your grandchildren’s lives than were previous generations of grandparents.​
