The Dr. Stuart Lessans Israel Action Center

The Israel Action Center trains and educates members of our community deepening their connection to and understanding of Israel and Israelis. We mobilize grass-roots activists to speak out for Israel and advocate for support of Israel to political leaders and the media. In times of crisis, the JCRC serves as the central hub for informing and activating our community members to advocate for the Jewish State.
