YI of Woodmere hosts Israel Bonds breakfast

Young Israel of Woodmere Rabbi Hershel Billet was honored at Sunday’s Israel Bonds breakfast at the shul.

IDF machine-gunner Sgt. Benjamin Anthony described his personal experiences, including his early exposure to anti-Semitism as a child in England, the intensity of serving on Israel’s front lines, and his current and imminent mission to reach others through his organization, Our Soldiers Speak. Anthony emphasized the urgency of bringing the truth about Israel to the English-speaking world, with a focus on educating young adults on how to combat anti-Israel rhetoric.

Rabbi Billet, always an outspoken supporter of Israel, emphasized the importance of continued support of Israel through Israel Bonds, especially in response to the BDS divestment movement.  Since 1951, Israel Bonds, Development Corporation for Israel, has played an important role in Israel’s rapid development, providing capital to Israel, without Israel ever missing an interest or principal payment. The well-received event brought a substantial amount of new and former purchasers to Israel Bonds.
