Keren Kayemeth LeIsrael (KKL-JNF) is contributing $100,000 to New York City's Israel Day on Fifth parade, promoting unity between Israeli and American Jews. This year's parade, themed "Hatikvah," will feature tens of thousands of participants, including many Jewish students. KKL-JNF has invested significantly in youth programs and combating antisemitism, highlighting their commitment to supporting the Jewish community in the face of rising intolerance. Last yearâs parade renamed itself to advocate for hostages held by Hamas, and this yearâs event will have increased security through NYPD.
"It's a special honor for KKL to support this strong statement. As Jews outside of Israel stand with us, we need to stand with them and support them as they face unprecedented antisemitism," said David Yaari, the vice chairman of KKL.
The annual parade, known as Israel Day on Fifth, will take place on Sunday with the theme 'Hatikvah,' which means 'the hope.' The parade is expected to draw tens of thousands of marchers - many of them Jewish day school students - and thousands of spectators in Manhattan.
