Yisraelim, NFP
  Chicago, USA 1997-
2004

Founder. The mission of the Yisraelim Not-for-Profit was to build an organizational infrastructure that will cultivate Israeli culture and tradition by creating a supportive community for all Israelis in North America through social interactions, educational events, and an online forum. It grew out of a grass roots Israeli graduate-students and young -professionals group in Chicago that established by Shirli Kopeman when she moved to the U.S. in 1997. Yisraelim was incorporated as a 501(c)(3) status January of 2002. At the time, it included over 1000 members and was operated by about 50 volunteers (see sample homepage and mission, services, and history). Operations included events such as holiday parties, dinners, a book club, children's playgroups, student activities, sports, and business networking.
