Communications for Jewish Initiatives
Achieving impact and results for projects
focused on Judaism, Zionism and Israel
About CJI
With antizionism soaring worldwide and confusion abounding regarding Judaism, Zionism and Israel, accurate and engaging communication about Jewish matters has never been more important.
Communications for Jewish Initiatives (CJI) supports academic, research, advocacy and business projects relating to Judaism, Zionism and Israel with strategic, impactful content that:
- advances awareness and understanding of established facts and truths,
- debunks false and discriminatory narratives and propaganda, and
- achieves meaningful action to support the rights of Jews and the security of Israel.
Who leads CJI?
Sharon is a Jewish professional communicator based near Toronto, Canada.
An independent communications consultant and content creator since 2004, Sharon specializes in writing clear, concise and compelling content that informs, engages and inspires audiences. Born and raised in Canada, she is the daughter of Israelis whose ancestors experienced anti-Jewish persecution in Poland, Iraq and Iran. She has family members in Israel, is an engaged parent and community member, and advocates for Jewish civil rights, safety and inclusion.
The vicious pogrom perpetrated against Israel on Oct. 7, 2023 and the resulting global spike in Jew-hatred forced Sharon to fully confront the threats to Jewish belonging, livelihoods and safety. In response, she developed CJI as part of her tikkun olam (repair the world) mission to support organizations in communicating effectively about their work related to Judaism, Zionism and Israel.

Why partner?
In a world rife with the three Ds of antisemitism — delegitimization, demonization, double standards — accurate information about Judaism and Israel is being sidelined while disinformation and libels proliferate. Advancing truths about Jewish and Israel in engaging, impactful and creative ways is vital.
As a skilled, experienced and compassionate communicator who embraces the Jewish humanitarian value of tikkun olam, Sharon is deeply committed to using the power of storytelling to promote meaningful results for Jewish and Israeli research, academic, advocacy and innovation projects.
