American Jewish Committee

The American Jewish Committee is an international think tank and advocacy organization that attempts to identify trends and problems while promoting a pluralistic and democratic society where all minorities are protected. Key areas of focus are: combating anti-Semitism and all forms of bigotry, promoting pluralism and shared civic values, protecting human rights and combating abuses, asserting Israel’s right to exist in peace and security with its neighbors, and safeguarding and strengthening Jewish life.

birthright Israel

The birthright israel program was created to send thousands of young Jewish adults to Israel in order to diminish the growing division between Israel and Jewish communities around the world. It is a unique partnership between the people of Israel, local Jewish communities and leading Jewish philanthropists, all of whom believe in the notion that it is every Jewish person’s birthright to visit Israel.
