Israel

Israel is central to world Jewry and a priority for the Jews of Westchester County.

A primary vehicle for supporting Israel is the Israel Roundtable, conceived to help increase county-wide consciousness, connections and commitment to Israel. Like all of the Council’s roundtables, we also share best practices and plan joint programs.

The Council also sponsors and coordinates the following:

• The Westchester marching cluster in the annual Israel Day Parade on 5th Avenue in NYC.
• A special Westchester Jewish Council night to celebrate Israel at the Jacob Burns Film Center’s Annual Jewish Film Festival
• Support of Westchester Against Nuclear Iran (WANI) and other events geared towards education and advocacy.

The Council maintains ongoing communication with the Israel consulate on behalf of its members organizations We also invite you to our website, www.wjcouncil.org, where you will find numerous links to valuable resources about Israel.
