The Jewish Agency for Israel ((ヘブライ語:הסוכנות היהודית לארץ ישראל), ''HaSochnut HaYehudit L'Eretz Yisra'el'') is the largest Jewish nonprofit organization in the world. Established as the Palestine Office (of the Zionist Organization) in 1908, it became the Zionist Commission, later Palestine Zionist Executive, which was designated in 1929 as the "Jewish agency" provided for in the League of Nations' Palestine Mandate〔League of Nations, ''Mandate for Palestine and Memorandum by the British Government Relating to Its Application to Transjordan, Approved by the Council of the League of Nations on September 16th, 1922.'' Published in Geneva, Switzerland on September 2, 1926. Document # C.P.M 466 () (). Page 2, Article 4.

After the establishment of the State it received its current name. It is best known as the primary organization responsible for the immigration ("Aliyah") and absorption of Jews and their families from the Diaspora into Israel.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Jewish Agency - Aliyah )〕 Since 1948, the Jewish Agency for Israel has been responsible for bringing 3 million immigrants to Israel, and offers them transitional housing in "absorption centers" throughout the country.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Jewish Agency - Aliyah of Rescue )〕 The Jewish Agency played a central role in the founding and the building of the State of Israel, including the establishment of about 1,000 towns and villages, and continues to serve as the main link between Israel and Jewish communities around the world.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Jewish Agency: About Us )〕〔(http://cms.education.gov.il/EducationCMS/Units/PrasIsrael/Tashsch/SochnotYehodit/ )〕 Its mission is to "inspire Jews throughout the world to connect with their people, heritage, and land, and empower them to build a thriving Jewish future and a strong Israel."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Jewish Agency Annual Report 2014 )〕 The Jewish Agency is a non-governmental organization (NGO) and does not receive core funding from the Israeli government. The Jewish Agency is funded by The Jewish Federations of North America, Keren Hayesod, major Jewish communities and federations, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, foundations and donors from Israel and around the world.〔 The dozens of programs it supports or operates benefit well over a million Israelis and Jews worldwide every year. Some of The Jewish Agency's best-known programs include Masa Israel Journey, Partnership2Gether, Youth Futures, Youth Villages, and its many Aliyah and Absorption programs. In 2008, The Jewish Agency won the Israel Prize for its historical contribution to Israel and to the worldwide Jewish community. ==History== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jewish Agency for Israel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
