For the first time, the Jewish Agency for Israel gave full benefits to an employee’s lesbian partner. A female emissary in the United Kingdom received full benefits for her partner of three years. The partner will receive full insurance coverage, and the couple will receive a higher housing and moving allowance than a single emissary receives.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
