Dear Friends,
As we enter the new calendar year, we reflect on the impact we've had on instilling pride and courage in the Jewish people, strengthening the U.S.-Israel alliance, and combating bigotry and hatred in America.
Today, antisemitism has become increasingly frequent and violent. It's not just a Jewish problem; it's an American one, too. And we pledge to continue our work to support the State of Israel and to do even more to fight against antisemitism.
This is why t
he Milstein Family Foundation is proud to be supporting several organizations who have joined together to endorse a landmark report called
The New Anti-Semites,
which uncovers the dangerous connection between the BDS movement and antisemitism
.
Also in our newsletter: we were proud to be honored at the
Birthright Israel Foundation's
6th Annual Los Angeles Dinner on November 21st. Together, with over 300 guests, we raised $34 million for Birthright Israel Foundation.
We invite you to learn about
Stand By Me
. Under Gila's leadership, the organization provides care and services to Israeli - American cancer patients and their families in Los Angeles, making sure that no one in our community faces cancer alone. For more ways to get involved in 2020, please visit their

.
Also, read Adam's book recommendations in
Moment
magazine
to better understand antisemitism and how to defeat it.
Finally, we feature
TPS - Israel's News Agency
— an international news agency based in Israel that delivers, in real-time, accurate and reliable coverage on Israel and the Middle East. TPS reaches a global audience, distributing information to more than 180 leading media outlets around the world. Our foundation is proud to support TPS.
With sincere love and admiration for the State of Israel and the Jewish people.
Happy New Year!
Gila and Adam Milstein
