“…One study, for example, showed how diasporas use their philanthropy to increasingly assume the responsibilities of civil society organizations in the homeland (Metcalf-Little, 2010), moving from supporting the provision of services to exploring policy issues, social justice, and advocacy activities (Low, 2017; Sidel, 2008). Brinkerhoff (2012) argues diaspora philanthropy increasingly provides support to innovative programs that enhance social and educational development and appear to promote the integration of their homeland into the international economy (Freinkman, 2000; Kuznetsov, 2006).…”

This article explores the ways in which new philanthropic practices and grant-making patterns changed Jewish diaspora philanthropy. Based on an in-depth exploration of the philanthropy of the UJA-Federation of New York toward Israel, the article posits the development of a new Jewish diaspora philanthropy and outlines its characteristics and expressions. Findings suggest new missions, goals, activities, and philanthropic practices in Israel and point to a shift in the extent of donor engagement in decision-making. The article offers a broader discussion on the meanings and implications for the integration of new institutional environments, in the form of new philanthropic practices, to the organizational field of Jewish philanthropy, while highlighting the dilemmas generated in the process for the Federation and for recipient organizations.

“…Besides, Rains and Brunner (2018) coin that if a user wants to reach out to their community and forge relationships that foster cooperation, collaboration, understanding, and lifelong learning and improving well-being between the generations, the way to do it is through the social media.

Silaturrahim' is a concept of kinship that is unique to the Malays, regardless of where they are in this world. It is a tradition that involves physical actions, and the development in communication has enabled for this to be translated as part of online communication. Using the qualitative approach, through the combination of focus group discussions and in-depth interviews, involving respondents from a wide range of background, this study was carried out to identify the elements of 'silaturrahim' that can be found in social media engagement amongst the diaspora community with a focus on Malaysians who are residing abroad -through the way they communicate with their family members and friends back home, and those who are residing in the same country that they are in, as well as with other Malaysian diaspora communities. The study is focused on the way the Malay diaspora continues the tradition of 'silaturrahim' while forming a positive online culture. The research begins with the diaspora providing their insights on the primary purpose of using social media. As a preliminary finding, in general, most of the interviewees agreed that social media is a means to bring the diaspora community together, particularly if there are events taking place near them, especially when their traditional food is served in the events. The social media is also seen as the most convenient way of conveying information amongst them, and sharing of news both from home as well as where they are residing.
