TO OUR SUPPORTERS AND COMMUNITY WITH GRATITUDE FOR YOUR GENEROSITY AND ENGAGEMENT
DEAR FRIENDS, As the Israeli-American Council turns the page on its 10th Anniversary, we celebrate the transformative impact that we have made for our community, our country, and our Jewish homeland.
Enclosed you will find the latest edition of the IAC’s Impact Report, which details all that we have accomplished in the last year. We have much to celebrate, including:
Together, we have turned a bold idea into a coast-tocoast community with Israel in its heart and Israeliness in its spirit.
WE OPENED FIVE NEW IAC REGIONAL OFFICES, bringing the total up to 15 offices nationwide.
You are integral partners in this success. Indeed, it is only because of your willingness to go above and beyond to support the vision and the mission of the IAC, that we can inspire, engage, and organize IsraeliAmericans and Jewish Americans in innovative and unprecedented ways. The IAC has been able to expand so significantly in such a short amount of time due to the extraordinary vision, dynamic leadership, and unparalleled generosity of Dr. Miriam and Sheldon G. Adelson. In the name of tens of thousands families around the country, we thank them from the bottom of our hearts.
WE STAGED 14 CELEBRATE ISRAEL FESTIVALS around the country, bringing Israel’s rich culture and history to life for more than 40,000 community members. WE UPGRADED AND SCALED OUR NATIONAL PROGRAMMING to meet the needs of ever-
growing communities.
while standing up to the threat of modern antiSemitism. WE EXPANDED AND CREATED NEW AND MEANINGFUL PARTNERSHIPS with Jewish American organizations, attracting a record number of nonIsraeli-American participants in our programs who are moved and inspired by Israeliness. AS WE REFLECT ON THE PAST YEAR OF SUCCESS, WE BELIEVE THAT WITH YOUR SUPPORT, OUR NEXT YEAR PROMISES TO BE EVEN BETTER. Thank you for your continued partnership, as we continue to grow this transformative movement together.
WE TRAINED HUNDREDS OF NEW COMMUNITY LEADERS OF ALL AGES. WE MOBILIZED OUR COMMUNITY TO FIGHT FOR ISRAEL and our common values as Americans,
