Dear Visitor, 

Welcome to the Penn Israel Coalition website! We created this website so our members can keep up-to-date with our initiatives and upcoming programming. The PIC board has worked hard to create campaigns that will empower each of you to make a real difference on campus through Israel advocacy. This is the time to get involved!

At the dawn of the twenty-first century, history is once again repeating itself. The enemies of Israel and the devout advocates of its destruction have shown their faces. Ahmujiadm, the President of Iran, has pledged destroying both Israel and the United States. As this summer’s war with Hezzballah and Iran’s continued pursuit of nuclear weapons show, our work is more important than ever before.

Our mission is nothing less than aligning the Penn community as a political asset to Israel. Through advocacy, community service, investment, Israel studies, campus outreach and local and national political work, we seek to engage as many students as possible to strengthen Penn’s ties to Israel and shape the attitudes and policies of our country and the future leaders of our world.

This coming semester we will face new challenges... our work will be harder. But we must and will confront this new reality with renewed dedication and a better understanding of the grave threats that still face Israel and how important our work truly is.

Finally, the Penn Israel Coalition and its leaders are here for you. We want to hear your ideas, as ultimately it is your enthusiasm and commitment that drive our success.

Sincerely,

Max W. Schapiro

President
