Israel Updates
Israel has long been our Jewish homeland, a refuge for Jews from around the world, and a proud beacon of democracy. We hold her aspirations to be a light unto the nations among our highest ideals. Creating a community that is educated, passionate and connected to Israel is one of Federation's primary goals.
The modern State of Israel represents a joint venture of the Jewish people. We are inexorably and intimately connected to our Israeli brothers and sisters. We have invested millions of dollars over the decades to support the most vulnerable in Israel, in times of peace and in times of crises. Our Federation is deeply committed to building a better Israel.
