"The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong."
-Mahatma Gandhi
Friends,
 
As we reflected and forgave this past Yom Kippur, may next year see peace for the state of Israel and the Jewish people. May all of you be blessed with serenity, happiness, and fulfillment.
 
This newsletter includes Adam's latest oped in The Jerusalem Post , highlighting the antisemitic collusion between the radical Left, radical Right, and radical Muslims. We also feature a video of an event discussing how Israeliness can be a strategic asset for the American Jewish future, an article about "Pro-Israel Boots on America's Campuses," and a shout-out to two organizations we support: Students Supporting Israel and Reservists on Duty, which helped put Students for Justice in Palestine on probation at UC Irvine. Lastly, we’re proud to feature Reservists on Duty as our featured organization for their work fighting antisemitism on college campuses by spreading the truth about Israel.  
Wishing you a deeply meaningful New Year.
May we all be inscribed in the Book of Life for a Good Year!
 
With sincere love and admiration for Israel and the Jewish people,
Gila and Adam Milstein


Radical movements in the US are focused on destroying and delegitimizing Israel – the historic homeland of the Jewish People — and they fan the flames of antisemitism wherever they can.

Israeliness: A Strategic Asset for the American Jewish Future?
On Sept. 6, more than 100 people gathered at the IAC Shepher Community Center to hear a spectacular panel discussion featuring Rabbi Ed Feinstein, Adam Milstein, and Jewish Journal president David Suissa as moderator, as they discussed how "Israeliness" is a strategic asset for the American Jewish future.

ICYMI: Boots on America’s Campuses
On campus and off, we hear about massive, nationally-coordinated, well-funded, and professionally-organized anti-Israel hate groups staging events and demonstrations, which easily outmatch the small counter-protests organized by local pro-Israel activists on campus. Students Supporting Israel is working to change that.

Shutting Down Hate at UC Irvine!
The University of California, Irvine sanctioned Students for Justice in Palestine for disrupting a pro-Israel event on campus. In May 2017, SJP members came to a pro-Israel event and shouted expletives continuously, after which attendees and speakers had to be escorted safely out by police.
 
SJP is an anti-Israel group aimed at harassing and silencing pro-Israel students and organizations. Two pro-Israel organizations that we support, Students Supporting Israel and Reservists on Duty , were on the front line for suspending the group on UCI's campus. R ead more here .

Featured Grantee: Reservists on Duty
Reservists on Duty is a non-profit organization established in 2015 by Israeli reserve combat soldiers who felt they had a duty to expose and counter the BDS movement and new forms of anti-Semitism erupting on college campuses across America.
 
They fight anti-Semitism and anti-Israel propaganda on college campuses in the U.S. by telling the truth about the Israeli Defense Forces and the State of Israel. They use their experience and firsthand knowledge to interact with many student groups on campus via a variety of platforms.
 
With the support and mentorship of the Adam and Gila Milstein Family Foundation, RoD is continuously expanding its activities in order to empower and strengthen more pro-Israel students across the United States.
