What is OLAM?

Founded in 2015, OLAM is a diverse community of Jewish and Israeli individuals and organizations committed to engaging the Jewish world in global service, international development, and humanitarian aid as an expression of Jewish values. OLAM's 50+ Jewish and Israeli partner organizations work with vulnerable communities in developing countries.

What is Focal Point?

OLAM’s annual Focal Point gathering is the premier convening of Jews passionate about global service, international development, and humanitarian aid. It provides a space for hundreds of Jewish leaders, funders, and practitioners from around the world to network, exchange ideas and best practices, problem-solve, and celebrate their shared commitment to serving the world’s most vulnerable individuals, through a Jewish lens. Focal Point 2020 will be OLAM’s 5th annual gathering, and the first to be held virtually.
