The EAJC congratulates Sylvan Adams on his appointment as the EJC Regional President in Israel.

The Israeli-Canadian entrepreneur and philanthropist Sylvan Adams has been appointed Regional President of the World Jewish Congress in Israel.

As a prominent advocate for the State of Israel, Adams will work on strengthening ties between Jerusalem and Jewish communities worldwide, as well as fostering diplomatic support for Israel internationally.

The leadership of the Euro-Asian Jewish Congress warmly welcomes the appointment of Mr. Adams to this highly significant position and wishes him productive endeavors for the benefit of Israel and all Jewish communities globally. Your role is of exceptional importance in light of the complex challenges Israel has faced over the past year and a half while combating Islamic terror in the region.

EAJC President Dr. Mikhail Mirilashvili, in a personal congratulatory letter to Sylvan Adams, noted:

”Your extensive experience in business, philanthropy, and highly successful sports diplomacy makes you uniquely suited for this crucial role. I look forward to our collaboration in strengthening Jewish communities worldwide and advancing Israel's interests on the global stage.”

Since moving to Israel in 2016, Adams has played a pivotal role in bringing major sporting and cultural events to the country, including the Grande Partenza of the Giro d'Italia cycling race in 2018, Madonna’s performance at the 2019 Eurovision Song Contest in Tel Aviv, and visits to Israel by global soccer star Lionel Messi.
