After half a century, the America-Israel Friendship League (AIFL) still operates like a new and nimble startup. While we remain true to our long-time mission of “making friends for Israel”, we constantly pivot and adjust to the changing times.

One of the keen insights AIFL learned from participants during the launch of this effort is that there was a desire for both “thinking” and “doing” activities for the webinars, so we continue to produce a mix of both.
Beyond making friends, our mission is to increase Americans’ understanding of the contemporary Israel story – its entrepreneurship, culture, medical research, environmental protection initiatives, and so much more. This is a story unknown to most Americans, because the media usually presents Israel principally through the lens of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Broadening that lens is critical to building greater appreciation and support for Israel.
Curtain Call works to bridge the gaps between, and foster dialogue among, the many diverse religious, minority and fringe communities across Israel. Join us for a program about this organization that is gaining acclaim in Israel and abroad for its innovative artistic programs.
The mission of Curtain Call is to use community theater as a tool to bring together and showcase people with disabilities, at risk youth, and minority groups – Arabs and Ethiopians, as well as Ultra-Orthodox women – bringing them to the forefront and integrating them into Israeli society.
During our program, we will hear from Curtain Call’s Founder and CEO, Ifat Bahar:
* What inspired her to start this organization just a decade ago?
* How does Curtain Call foster outreach and dialogue in its target communities?
* How has the company adapted to meet the needs of its members during the pandemic?
* How does Curtain Call measure its impact on the communities with whom it works?
Streamed live, the program will feature:
