The mission of the Israeli-American Council (IAC) is to build an engaged and united Israeli American community that strengthens the Israeli and Jewish identity of our next generation, the American Jewish community, and the bond between the peoples of the United States and the State of Israel.

The IAC strengthens Israeli-American, Jewish, and pro-Israel communities by fostering Jewish and Israeli identity, developing civic leadership, and creating meaningful opportunities to connect, learn, and take action. Through innovative programs, leadership development, and community building, we empower people of all ages to make a lasting impact. From celebrating Jewish and Israeli holidays and traditions to advancing civic engagement and combating antisemitism, we build resilient communities that lead with confidence.

IAC was established in June 2007 and engages over 130,000 people annually.

We are proud to highlight IAC and its continued work supporting the Israeli American community.
