"AJC has truly become a global player… and a powerful advocate for the Jewish people and the Jewish state."
— Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
AJC Jerusalem
AJC Jerusalem forges ties with Israeli leaders and members of the diplomatic community.
As American Jewish Committee’s voice in Israel, AJC Jerusalem has a unique and sacred role—enhancing the everlasting bonds between Israel and world Jewry and making connections across Israeli society. The office regularly engages Israeli government officials, religious leaders, and diplomatic representatives of foreign countries stationed in Israel to share AJC's advocacy positions and analysis.
Our Priorities
AJC on the Ground
AJC was the first American Jewish organization to establish a full-time office in Jerusalem, over 60 years ago. Today, AJC Jerusalem serves as a thriving base for AJC’s activities in the Jewish state.
AJC Jerusalem’s primary goal is to promote Israel’s global position using diplomacy and advocacy. This is done by the office’s vast network of connections and partners across the country and the region. As per AJC’s vision, the Israeli office also engages with regional leaders, supporting Israel’s integration in the Middle East.
In addition, the office coordinates the activities of Project Interchange, an educational institute of AJC, which has brought more than 6,200 opinion leaders and policymakers from over 120 countries to Israel for week-long seminars that allow them to learn about the country firsthand. Participants gain direct insights into Israeli society and connect with their Israeli counterparts, opening up possibilities for continuing collaboration.
