Israel at War

Message from Rabbinic Advisory Council Chairperson and National Director Israel Bonds Synagogue Division 

Following the War of Independence, Israel was in critical need of funds to build and strengthen the foundations of statehood. With no other place to turn Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion sought to engage Diaspora Jewry in building the reborn Jewish homeland through the sale of bonds, Israel bonds. 

Fast forward 70 years and more than $46 billion later, Israel is a modern state with an admired economy, still it will not immediately overcome the economic impacts of the pandemic nor will the emotional, physical, and structural impacts of recent Hamas rocket attacks be easily put behind.
 
As the sounds of the shofar blend into our High Holy Days prayers for a coronavirus-free world, peace on Israel’s borders, and an end to surging anti-Semitism, they also inspire us to STAND WITH ISRAEL through investments in Israel bonds. Invest in Israel bonds through our VIRTUAL TAB CARD this season. 
 
This Guide to Conducting a High Holy Days Appeal provides all the necessary tools to conduct a highly successful appeal - one that will attract the participation of both returning and new investors.
