🚨 ACTION ALERT: Help Secure Permanent Nonprofit Security Funding Statewide!

We're closer than ever to securing permanent funding for California's Nonprofit Security Grant Program.

The California State Assembly's budget proposal includes $80 million in ongoing annual funding to help protect organizations at risk of hate-motivated violence, including synagogues and other houses of worship, LGBTQ centers, schools, and reproductive health clinics.

This historic opportunity is the result of years of advocacy and thousands of messages from community members like you. But the budget is still being negotiated, and we need your voice now.

After six years, direct flights to Israel are returning to San Francisco! 👏✈️

An absolute game changer for the fourth-largest Jewish population in the US.

We’re continuing to expand our network with a new destination in the United States: San Francisco!

The new route joins the 11 new destinations we have announced in recent months, further strengthening our route network and enhancing connectivity between Israel and one of the world’s leading hubs for innovation, technology, and business.

Tickets are now available for purchase through the EL AL website and via travel agents.
