Roots) is a nonprofit organization devoted to building bridges between Israeli and North American Jews.〔http://www.shorashim.org/about〕 The organization offer trips to Israel and Israel cultural programming in the United States. The Jewish educational concept of ''mifgash'' (Hebrew: מפגש lit. Meeting or Encounter) – between Jews in Israel and around the world – is a foundation of Shorashim programs.
