INVEST IN ISRAEL BONDS

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.”

On May 26, Lieutenant General Mark C. Schwartz, U.S. security coordinator for Israel and the Palestinian Authority, addressed over 210 Israel bonds investors and members of Bonds leadership as part of Israel Bonds’ global event speaker series with leading dignitaries, officials and industry frontrunners.
