| Over the weekend, leaders in the Senate introduced funding proposals of utmost importance to the Jewish community.
As part of an overall multi-part appropriations package, the emergency supplemental provides $14 billion in extra security assistance for Israel and $400 million in extra funding for the Non-Profit Security Grant Program (NSGP).
This it is vital to our brothers and sisters in Israel and to our fellow Jews at home. We must urge our senators to pass this supplemental funding and to do so without delay.
U.S. aid will save the lives of Israelis and help defeat Hamas, whose stated goal is to kill Jews and reject peaceful coexistence with Israel. And we have seen their heinous acts of barbarity that they say will continue if they are not stopped and rooted out. The aid to Israel being considered includes funding for Iron Dome and David's Sling, two missile defense systems to defend against rocket attacks, and other critical security needs.
The Increase in the NSGP will help us protect our shuls, yeshivos, day schools, and other community mosdos. This is particularly critical during a time we have witnessed a skyrocketing of antisemitic incidents since October 7 – indeed, an increase of almost 400% over the same period last year. We urge you to contact your senators - today - and call on them to support this vital aid to Israel and to our vulnerable community.
