You could say for the same reason we make a Seder on Passover – so our children will see us and ask, “What is a response card?” or “What is an Israel bond?” thus giving us the opportunity to teach them the importance of supporting Israel through an investment in Israel bonds.
We cannot expect our children to be motivated to support Israel by the same longing and desperation for a state that compelled our parents and grandparents to invest in Israel bonds. We can however inspire them with the many levels of mitzvah embedded in every Israel bond and energize them with the value and convenience of Israel bonds for gift-giving and/or savings.
• MITZVAH: Support and secure the State of Israel
• ZIONISM: Share the dreams of the Founders and Builders who restored our Homeland
• INCOME: Israel bonds earn interest until maturity
• CONVENIENCE: Israel bonds are available for purchase online or via app 24/7
• TRADITION: Learn, embrace and transmit love/support of Israel from one generation to the next
The Israel Bonds program is a positive, proactive, economic expression of our attachment to Israel. The funds generated by every investment help grow and strengthen Israel’s economy for all citizens of Israel and for the people of Israel everywhere.
It is now easier than ever to invest in Israel bonds:
• Short term maturities available – 2, 3 and 5 years
• Name and address only for gift bonds – no SSN required
• Gift bonds $36, $54, $72, $90 (available online only) and Mazel Tov bonds that start at $100 ($10 increments) up to $2500

• Redemption checks mailed automatically at maturity.
