Kevin Browett Chief Operating Officer kbrowett@renmedia.us 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.
