From Our Executive Director
"Israel is not merely a country; it is a living rebuke to despair. It embodies the tenacity of a people who refused to be erased from history, who rebuilt their shattered world on a sliver of contested land and flourished against all odds. Israel’s very existence is an affront to tyranny and a triumph over persecution, a demonstration that resilience and hope can indeed defy the forces of hatred. It stands as a reminder that courage, not compliance, is the path to survival."
