Greetings!
In recent weeks, we were reminded that our responsibility to our people never rests. Increasingly we are navigating a challenging landscape marked by an alarming rise in antisemitism and anti-Israel sentiment. But history shows our strength is defined by how we unite against adversity, not by the adversity itself.
IAJF remains fiercely committed to the Jewish People and to Israel’s absolute right to security, sovereignty, and peace. Our goal is always to build, to protect, and to empower. With your partnership, we continue to expand critical programs in Israel, strengthen advocacy at home, and cultivate the next generation of proud Zionist leaders.
In this summer update, you will see how your contributions are changing lives. Recent programs will memorialize the young souls lost at the Nova Festival and inspire and support the next generation through leadership and vocational training at Yemin Orde. Locally, you will see glimpses of our community building efforts through recent Young Couples and Generation Now programming.
Finally, as we approach the Fourth of July and honor 250 years of American freedom, the country that welcomed our community only a few decades ago, we can’t help but look ahead to our own Silver Anniversary Gala on November 12th, celebrating 25 years of standing strong, united, and cultivating a community of philanthropy to help sustain the future of others.
May you all have a wonderful Fourth of July and safe, happy, and healthy summer.
