This morning, April 17, 2018, the management of StandWithUs opened the trading on the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE) as part of the celebrations to mark the 17th anniversary of the organization’s activities and the 70th anniversary of the State of Israel’s Independence. The opening bell ceremony is a tribute to the organization and its activities in support of Israel throughout the world.
Michael Dickson, Executive Director: “At StandWithUs, we are inspired by our love of Israel and our belief that education is the road to peace and a deep responsibility to stand up for Israel and Israelis when they are publicly attacked or misrepresented. In 16 years, StandWithUs has become a major force in showing Israel’s true face to the world. We are active on campuses and in communities in many cities. Every year 20,000 visitors take part in educational programs at our Center. We operate in 18 languages and have a weekly Facebook peak post reach of over 100 million people. We are thrilled to be celebrating this record of successfully educating people about Israel at the Stock Exchange today.”
Amnon Neubach, Chair of TASE’s Board of Directors: “We appreciate the importance of the work StandWithUs does in education, leadership training and in promoting Israel around the world. I am certain that your visit to Israel and to the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, as well as the meetings you are holding with Israeli entrepreneurs and start-ups, will give you a glimpse of what stands at the core of Israel’s economic strength and success. This is what Israel is all about".
