Review for New Israel Fund of Canada, Toronto, , Canada

Rating: 5 stars  

Put simply, NIFC is one very special organization. With great courage in an environment where even mainstream, liberal Jews have become increasingly wary of voicing any constructive criticisms about Israel, NIFC educates us about issues that threaten to compromise Israel’s vision of a Jewish and democratic state. It envisions an Israel where disempowered communities, such as Ethiopian Jews, are no longer marginalized; where disenfranchised communities, such as Israeli Arab citizens, have access to the same rights of education and security as Israeli Jews; where non-orthodox streams of Judaism flourish within an environment of religious pluralism; where all of Israel’s citizens are positioned socio-economically to contribute to her development as a beacon among nations. As a Jew, I feel strongly about fighting injustices both in Canada and in Israel. Through NIFC, I can make a positive impact in Israel and I’m very proud to support its important work.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

Observing the establishment and success of NGOs that address the needs of underserved and marginalized populations. NIFC is fearless in illuminating the disparities that exist in Israel and jeopardize her values.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

Feeling like I am part of very important work that is measurably helping Israel to achieve her vision.

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

Inspiring, informed, committed - representing the very best of what Israel stands for.

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

Use a large portion to fund Israeli NGOs that address poverty, domestic violence and human rights, and the remaining to implement a comprehensive educational campaign in Canada to build awareness and strengthen support of its work.
