Gilad Ramot Founder, Owner I am an entrepreneur looking for ways to do good for my surroundings. For over 20 years, I have built and led companies that aim to help people. At this time, the Jewish people need to get together, and there is no better way than to help those who want to join us in Israel for a soft landing and embrace them in our communities. Married + 2 boys living in Nir Banim, and loves to see when a plan comes together. Eilon Gilad CEO I am passionate about how people experience cultural differences and interact with each other. I love Israel and believe it can be a role model to a thriving society. After 30 years in the high-tech industry and experiencing different geographies and cultures, I want to introduce you to the best Israel has to offer (besides the scenery, culture, and history) and get you to understand the unique connections in our society.

Dr. Liraz Margalit Head of Research & Insights I am passionate about understanding human behavior and decision-making. I believe that through behavioral design and insights, we can create meaningful and impactful experiences for individuals and businesses alike. With over a decade of experience in the intersection of neuropsychology, behavioral economics, and consumer research, I aim to bridge the gap between complex psychological theories and practical business applications. As the head of research & insights at Belong, I strive to deliver actionable insights that drive business success and enhance customer experiences. I firmly believe in Belong's mission to strengthen the connection between the Jewish diaspora and Israel, and to encourage Aliyah (immigration to Israel). Iris Bdolach Head of Product and Marketing Throughout my professional life, I have chosen positions that allowed me to combine professional knowledge and experience with my desire to do something significant. Belong allows me to do that. I see great importance in strengthening the connection of Jews to Israel, Israelis, to their roots, and the land that is our home to build a free and flourishing society. Born in Israel, I am a proud mother living with my son in Tel Aviv. Hefzi Avganim Head of Customer Success I was born and raised in Israel. Most of my professional career has been in the high-tech industry. During that time, I spent five years living in North Carolina, USA. It was a meaningful experience. However, I always knew my heart was set on returning to Israel. I also knew I wanted to raise my children in a place that truly feels like home. Even though moving back to Israel was challenging, I deeply believe that there is no better place in the world for a Jew than Israel. I like interacting with people and cultures, I also love wild nature and history, and I am a professional tour guide. I have the opportunity to interact with and meet new people while revealing the beauty of Israel to others. Inbar Grosglik Head of Partnership and Control I am an Israeli with all my heart and soul. My passion is photography; my greatest love is taking pictures of people, capturing emotions and moments of emotional connections. I love Israel and feel a great connection to it and to the Israeli society. As someone who has lived abroad for several years, I understand that we, as Jews, have no other country. I am very proud to be a part of something that aims to strengthen the connection of Jews worldwide to Israel, and I look forward to presenting Israel and it's beautiful, warm, and unique society to anyone interested in getting to know, experience, or be a part of it.

Jessica Scalisi Content Manager Originally from New York, I started my career producing a children's TV show in Manhattan before moving to Israel to dive into Journalism & the high-tech world. As a new Olah living in Israel, my role as the Content Manager at Belong deeply resonates with my own journey. Through a unique and personal experience, I'm able to bring a different perspective & understanding to the Belong team. Here, I combine my passion for storytelling, marketing, & content with my experiences of adapting to life in a new country. I'm more than just an employee; I'm part of a mission close to my heart, helping others navigate their own paths in Israel.
