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

Rating: 5 stars  

NIF supports organizations that reflect my Jewish values - fairness and justice, civil society, concern for the vulnerable regardless of race, culture, socio-economic background, or religion. NIF funds and offers management support for shelters for Domestic Violence for Jewish and Palestinian Israelis, law suits to redress injustice eg women who cannot get a "get" or protection from harassment at checkpoints, illegal placement of the Wall, discrimination against gays and lesbians, it supports projects to protect the environment, people with disabilities and the elderly, economic & educational programs for those from all religious backgrounds,Ethiopian Jews, Russian Jews, etc, Bedouins, Palestinian Israelis who are not given equal employment rights, etc

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

I observed cooperative, respectful relationships between Jewish and Palestinian Israelis, safeguards for the environment, sharing of experiences and knowledge between various NGO's.Their work brought optimism for a better future for Israel.

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

Were well motivated, informed and dedicated.

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

Help to develop more equitable education for Palestinian Israelis and vulnerable low income Jewish Israelis.
