Dear JINSA Report Reader,
For the United States, Israel and our allies, these are challenging times.
Iran. Iraq. Hamas. Pakistan. Afghanistan. North Korea. Just to list them is to understand the threats we and our allies face.
Our freedoms, our values - and indeed our lives - depend on close, secure relationships between nations that cherish democracy.
The Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs (JINSA) is the only Jewish organization whose sole purpose is American national defense and a close security relationship between the United States and Israel and our like-minded democratic allies around the world.
Rarely has our mission been more important and rarely has our mission been more in jeopardy. That's why I'm writing to request your financial support. In this current economic climate, JINSA needs your help now more than ever, to ensure that issues of security stay prevalent in the minds of policy makers.
We have never before asked the readers of our JINSA Reports for help - but we need it now.
Your support will help us continue to provide this valuable resource to you free of charge. In addition, your gift will help support innovative and unique programs such as:
- Strategic partnership missions. JINSA takes both retired U.S. generals and admirals, as well as cadets and midshipmen from America's service academies to Israel for intense, in-depth conversations with IDF commanders and political leaders. One West Point cadet put it best when he said the trip "was filled with experiences that will benefit me as a future officer...We are all fighting for the same things - freedom and justice. This makes the U.S. and Israel powerful allies in the wars of today and those still to come."
- American counter-terrorism efforts. Our Law Enforcement Exchange Program (LEEP) takes American law enforcement officials to Israel for ever-crucial counter-terrorism training with the Israel National Police. One American police chief told us, "I pray that we never experience in America what Israel faces daily. But if we do, those of us who have been on these trips will be better prepared."
- National security forums and conferences. We are committed to educating community leaders across America about U.S. national security. We take them to military bases throughout the U.S. to learn first-hand about terrorism and current battlefield threats and how they're being met.
- Recognizing brave men and women for their service and commitment. Our annual Washington gala draws hundreds of political, military and community leaders for the presentation of our Henry M. "Scoop" Jackson Award and our Grateful Nation Award. Click HERE to be a part of this incredible event.
Our mission has never been more urgent - and supporting us has never been easier. To make a gift online, click HERE and follow the instructions. (This is a secure, encrypted, form. Your personal information cannot be intercepted.)

Rest assured that a gift to JINSA is a solid investment. We are a well-managed, lean but highly productive group, operating on a small budget. In times like these, we must continue ensuring the safety and security of the United States, Israel and our cherished allies - but we can't do that without you. Please make a generous gift TODAY.
Sincerely,
Tom Neumann
Executive Director
