Connecting Coloradans to the Jewish community & the people of Israel.

We have been monitoring the news of the violence and terror gripping the Middle East over the weekend. Please join JEWISHcolorado’s Shaliach Itai Divinsky for a briefing on the situation from his unique perspective as an Israeli, as a former IDF soldier, and as an emissary for the State of Israel.

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the session.

Itai Divinsky comes from Ramat HaNegev, Colorado’s sister community in Israel. He previously served as General Community Director for Sheizaf, a new community in the Negev where religious and secular Israelis live together.

Itai earned his M.A. in Geography and Environmental Development from Ben Gurion University of the Negev. Prior to his university studies, Itai served three years in the IDF as a tank commander in the Armored Corps. He still proudly serves in a reserve unit as a Company Sergeant Major and Tank Commander. In 2019, Itai and his family moved to Denver where he currently serves the Jewish community as Shaliach (Senior Emissary) for JEWISHcolorado and The Jewish Agency for Israel.
