Stand With Us
Festival of Lights Annual Gala 2023
StandWithUs is an international and non-partisan Israel education organization that inspires and educates people of all ages and backgrounds, challenges misinformation, and fights antisemitism. It is not politically aligned in any country. It does not and has never advocated specific policies for Israel. Our work and respect for Israel’s democratically elected government are not contingent on which parties are in power. Our goal is to counter antisemitism, educate the public about Israel, empower others to educate their communities, and make it possible to have reasonable, informed conversations about Israel’s history, policies, and humanitarian aid on campuses and in communities around the world.
Founded in 2001 and headquartered in Los Angeles, the organization has programs on six continents with chapters and offices throughout the U.S., Israel, the Netherlands, the UK, Canada, Brazil, and South Africa. For the last eleven consecutive years, StandWithUs has obtained the highest possible ratings from two preeminent rating agencies: GuideStar and Charity Navigator
