Israel Needs Us NOW!
Your donations to the JSA Campaign can help us invest in Israel with Israel Bonds.
Now is the time to support our family in Israel and our community. Now, we can do both with a single donation.
Together, with your invaluable support, we are thrilled to announce the launch of the first ever annual joint campaign between the Jewish Seniors Alliance and Israel Bonds.
Throughout the campaign period, funds raised will be utilized by the Jewish Seniors Alliance to acquire Israel Shalom Savings Bonds. These bonds serve as a vital source of support for the State of Israel over the course of one year. Upon maturity, the principal amount along with accrued interest will be directed towards addressing the needs of our community.
TAX DEDUCTIBLE! By participating in this campaign, you will receive a tax receipt from JSA to the maximum extent permitted by law.
This endeavor is a wonderful way to empower seniors in our community while also showing our support for a country that is so close to our hearts! And you will also receive a commemorative certificate memorializing your participation in this special campaign for Israel.
Let’s honour the past while actively shaping a brighter future and investing in the promise of tomorrow!
How It Works
You have made the decision to participate in this special campaign by donating to JSA.
You will receive a donation receipt from JSA, where applicable (and to the extent permitted by law).
JSA purchases an Israel Bond using the campaign donations. Israel benefits from JSA's bond purchase. JSA benefits by owning a meaningful bond that accrues interest.
In one year, when the Israel Bond matures, all principal plus interest will be used by JSA to bolster its activities.

About Israel Bonds
On May 14, 1948, David Ben-Gurion spoke six words that electrified the world: “The State of Israel has arisen!”
Three years later, Ben-Gurion made another dramatic announcement: Israel Bonds, Israel’s initiative for a global economic partnership with the Diaspora, had officially launched.
A defining moment in Israel's history, the creation of Israel Bonds reinforced the deeply held connection between supporters of Israel around the world and the people of Israel.
In acknowledging the role of Israel Bonds, both historically and since Oct. 7, 2023, the Israel Ministry of Finance Investor Newsletter dated April 2024 stated, “The Israel Bonds Organization (Israel Bonds), the state’s longest-standing financing source, raised USD 2.7 billion in 2023, with the majority of funding coming in the wake of the October 7 terrorist attacks. This organization issues non-tradable, low-denomination bonds across numerous countries, primarily targeting retail bond buyers, notably the Jewish Diaspora, as well as supportive institutions, such as U.S. state treasuries. Due to its unique investor base, Israel Bonds exhibits a counter-cyclical dynamic with Israel: during times of economic or geopolitical shock, the organization experiences an increase in demand as investors express their support for Israel.”
