INVEST IN ISRAEL BONDS

Following a most historic day in which peace accords were signed by the United Arab Emirates and the Kingdom of Bahrain with the State of Israel, over 1,200 Israel Bonds supporters and investors joined together over Zoom, Facebook Live, YouTube and the Jewish Broadcasting Service for Selichot from the Kotel: An Extraordinary Global Experience, which featured prominent speakers, unique performances, a special exploration of the Kotel, and blessings for the New Year from spiritual leaders from around the world.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Ambassador to the U.S. Ron Dermer headlined a virtual Israel Bonds ‘International Celebration of Heritage and Unity’ on August 18. Thousands of individuals from the U.S., Canada, Mexico and Brazil – as well as synagogues, organizations and state treasurers – joined via multiple platforms, constituting the largest audience ever to participate in an Israel Bonds event.

On June 23, Deborah Feldman, author of Unorthodox: The Scandalous Rejection of My Hasidic Roots, joined Israel Bonds Metro New Jersey, Rockland County and Bergen County Women’s Divisions for an intimate discussion, sharing the story of her escape from an ultra-religious community in Brooklyn, New York, which served as the basis of the currently running Netflix miniseries Unorthodox.

In an interview with The Algemeiner on June 16, Israel Bonds President and CEO Israel Maimon expressed how committed the organization is to achieving its $1.5 billion U.S. goal for Israel bond sales for the year, and is on track to accomplish this effort to assist the Jewish state in rebuilding its economy in light of the coronavirus pandemic. The goal was accepted by Israel’s Finance Ministry, and as Maimon described, “We are working full speed ahead, literally from morning to night, in order to secure the additional capital that is needed.”
