JNF plans huge 'Spectacular Sunday' fundraiser for June 14

As Jewish National Fund-USA continues to support Israel’s immediate needs in response to the global health pandemic, the organization is preparing to call a record breaking 60,000 supporters across the United States as part of its June 14 Spectacular Sunday telethon. In addition to a world-class line up of online entertainment, the day of giving from coast to coast will also feature a $1 million match enabling donors to double the value of their gift for the land and people of Israel.

“Can you imagine 119-years ago when Theodore Herzl, a man in his early 40s, asked for the first gift for Jewish National Fund to repurchase the land of Israel for the Jewish people?” said Jewish National Fund-USA Chief Executive Officer, Russell F. Robinson. “Surely, he never could have imagined that in the year 2020, from Los Angeles to New York and across the ocean to Israel, thousands of people would be standing up and saying count on me!”
