Launched in September of 2008, Leadel.NET is a media hub showcasing the rich variety of contemporary Jewish voices and expressions. Focusing on the ever-changing state of Jewish identity and activity in the 21st century, Leadel uses digital media to increase Jewish leadership and connect generations, especially among our youth, by reflecting upon and inspiring innovation and creativity. With less than two years of air time, Leadel receives between 1200-1500 unique visits per day, has over 500 official site members, and a large presence and following on both Facebook and Twitter.

Founded by the President of the European Jewish Congress, Moshe Kantor, the concept behind Leadel was to provide a new-age, Web 2.0 based media portal to young Jewish professionals from around the world to connect generations, interact with each other and be inspired by their fellow Jews. Leadership elements will also blossoming from this approach as new networks are constantly being built. Nevertheless, what began as merely a journalistic approach with one-on-one interviews with prominent Jews such as Natan Sharansky, Alan Dershowitz, and Bernard Henri Levy, led to an explosion of ideas, educational video series' and initiatives all launched under Leadel's brand and guidance.

While Leadel’s main content resides in its vast video library of interviews and short documentaries, Leadel also has a number of elements to enrich their ever-growing catalog of Jewish identity pieces:

Leadel LIVE (aka Shevet Achim) operates in cooperation with the offices of Israeli Minister of Diaspora Affairs, Yuli Edelstein, and provides an alternative, accessible means of communication between Jewish Diaspora communities and leading Israeli government officials. Each event uses cutting edge technology to build new bridges across geographical borders. This effort has great impacts on connecting generations and inspires future political leaders by providing future generations an inside look to current mentors and the people making policy decisions. Past sessions have included communities from London, Britain; Budapest, Hungary; Stockholm, Sweden; and Milan, Italy as well as hosted Israel's Vice Prime Minister and Minister of Strategic Affairs, Moshe "Boogie" Ya'alon.

Leadel Link aspires to use Leadel.NET as a portal to create a living, breathing network between its members and the media it hosts. The norm is such that many sites make use of an audience linked to a particular article or story via comments, thus providing that audience access to connect with each other.

Leadel Link hopes to make a synapse relationship available between our audiences, young and old generations, leaders, etc, and bring them together with the individuals we feature on Leadel. Hence granting a higher level of communication and networking to the global Jewish community and strengthening leadership and the ties among Jewish youth and established Jewish professionals.

All-in-all, Leadel.NET continues to aspire to inspire, strengthen Jewish identity and spark innovation within Jewish youth around the world by taking digital media and Judaism to a higher level of networking and communication.
