Message from our Chief Executive, Adam Ognall

As I reflect back on my first year with New Israel Fund, one key lesson that stands out is that NIF is at its best when it is at its boldest – being innovative, building partnerships and not being afraid to tackle difficult issues.

First Posters go up for “Women Should be Seen and Heard” Campaign

NIF has been running a highly successful international poster campaign aiming to put women in the public eye. NIF has been asking supporters to submit photos proclaiming that women should be seen and heard. These images are being incorporated into photo montages that will be hung in public places around Jerusalem. You can view the amazing collection here. The issue has been headline news in Israel, the UK and US.
