Devora Greenberg is the new Shlicha for the Conservative Movement in North America. Born in Jerusalem, Devora fulfilled her military service in an Intelligence Unit of the Israel Defense Forces and received her B.A. from Hebrew University in Jewish Philosophy and Political Science in 2003.

Devora became acquainted with Conservative/Masorti Judaism when, after completing her army service, she was sent on shlichut as a summer camp counselor to Camp Ramah New England, in Palmer MA. "My experience at Camp Ramah was life changing. I became a 'Ramahnik' in body and soul and found a new home within the Conservative religious community." Following that summer, Devora joined the counseling staff of Ramah Israel and worked with numerous synagogue and Solomon Schechter Day School groups touring Israel, in addition to summers on staff with the Ramah Seminar Program.

Arriving in New York in early 2004 to begin her service to the Conservative Movement, Devora, like her predecessors, splits her time between the MERCAZ USA office and the Israel Aliyah Center. She has three major goals for her shlichut: outreach to synagogues and organizations to provide a variety of educational programs concerning Israel; help for individuals and families who are considering making Aliyah; and involvement with college students and young adults interested in touring, study and volunteer programs in Israel. Devora will also be working with the Conservative Movement's Aliyah Committee, writing for the AMTON and organizing programs for Tnuat AM, the Movement for Conservative Aliyah.
