Israel Bonds Eyes
High Holiday Appeal
This year's Israel Bonds High Holiday
appeals, a cornerstone of the Bonds pro-
gram since the organization's founding
in 1951, will be conducted in synagogues
throughout the country on Rosh Hashanah
and Yom Kippur.
Bonds President and CEO Izzy Tapoohi
said, "The theme of the appeals — This
Is Israel — will encourage worshippers to
invest in a nation of heritage, courage and
inspiration. At the same time, they will
have the opportunity to acquire a depend-
able investment well-suited for these
uncertain economic times."
During High Holiday services, wor-
shippers will be presented with tab cards
enabling them to designate the type and
amount of the Israel bond they intend to
purchase. The Bonds organization cur-
rently offers a choice of fixed rate bonds or
floating rate bonds. Available instruments
provide a choice of maturities, as well as
income-generating bonds or bonds paying
interest upon maturity.
Individuals indicating they wish to
purchase Israel bonds will have the oppor-
tunity to do so online. Since its launch in
September 2011, the online site sales have
exceeded $12.3 million.
Further information about the High
Holiday appeals can be obtained by calling
Paula Lebowitz at (248) 661-3500 or email
at paula.lebowitz@israelbonds.org , or vis-
iting Israelbonds.com.
