The KI community is proud of its strong ties with the State of Israel and its long history of active support for Israel, both during times of peace and in times of crisis. We are constantly striving to engage the entire community of KI in Israel-related programming that focuses on education, celebration, activism, and solidarity. As part of that mission, our Israel Affairs Committee ensures that the KI community is informed about Israel-related events within the greater Boston area and provides support for Israel-related events within the KI community.
