A meshulach (Template:Langx; plural: meshulachim), also known as a shaliach (Template:Langx)[1] or SHaDaR (Template:Langx, acronym for Script error: No such module "Lang".),Template:Notetag was an emissary sent to the Diaspora to raise funds (ḥalukka) for the existence of the Jewish settlement in the Land of Israel. The institution of the Emissaries of the Land of Israel, which began in ancient times, developed and contributed greatly to the connection between Diaspora Judaism and the Jews in the Land of Israel, and to the cultural life of the Jewish communities.

Role of the meshulach

Often an individual meshulach may operate as an independent contractor for several different organizations, taking a portion of the proceeds as profit.
