Building Community Awareness
 
Watch and share!
NAZA: The Real Story

A group of exceptional Israeli filmmakers has produced "NAZA: The Real Story", a pro-Israel documentary that is already available. The work features direct testimonies from IDF soldiers and battlefield footage, revealing a completely different reality that directly refutes the narrative presented in the antisemitic propaganda film.

Watch it here on YouTube

Our goal is simple: by the time the antisemitic film reaches millions of people worldwide, the truth must already be within everyone's reach. The more shares, views and engagement we generate now, the greater the chances that the Israeli documentary will reach a broader audience and be able to counter online antisemitic propaganda.
 
Sunday, November 1, 2026 at 12PM ET. Torah Fund Changes Lives: Hear Our Stories

Join for a special program highlighting the impact of the Torah Fund campaign of Women's League for Conservative Judaism through the stories of four rabbinical students from The Jewish Theological Seminary in New York, The Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies in Los Angeles, and The Schechter Rabbinical Seminary in Jerusalem.

Each student will share their personal journey to rabbinical school and how scholarships have helped make that journey possible. The program will conclude with a moderated question-and-answer session.
