A strong and resilient bond between Israel and the United States starts with a united, passionate, and engaged community.

Since its establishment, the Israeli-American Council (IAC)  has been a welcoming and empowering home for Israeli and American Jews; a space to connect over their shared affection for Israel and celebrate their heritage.

We believe preserving and cultivating our Jewish and Israeli identity is a collaborative journey. That’s why the IAC offers enriching and innovative programming: from educational activities for children and teens to cultural initiatives on college campuses, as well as training and empowerment of community leaders and activists.

Now more than ever, our community is faced with defining challenges. The scourge of antisemitism and Israel hatred both in our physical world and online, reminds us to stay united and use our voices to stand up for each other. Amidst hostility, the IAC takes action against hate through our individual programs and civic engagement initiatives. We also continue to provide educational and communal resources to empower each other during these difficult times.

By uplifting each other and working together, we inspire and encourage future generations to continue to take pride in their connection to Israel and contribute not just to their community, but to American society at large.

With tens of thousands of participants nationwide, there is no doubt that the IAC’s impact is rooted in diversity and inclusivity. We stand together with trust, respect, and enthusiasm to strengthen our community and nurture the unbreakable friendship between the US and Israel, transcending political affiliations.
