For decades, President Biden has been a true friend of the Jewish community and a steadfast supporter of Israel, describing himself as a “Zionist in my heart” and becoming the first sitting U.S. president to visit Israel during wartime in the aftermath of the horrific October 7th attacks.

 

As President, he released the first national strategy to combat antisemitism; held a historic White House Summit on combating hate-fueled violence; upgraded the Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Antisemitism to the Ambassador level; and signed into law the largest increase in funding for Nonprofit Security Grant Programs that protect synagogues and Jewish Community Centers.

 

He also continues to support Holocaust survivors so they can live the rest of their lives with the security and dignity they deserve. He has left his mark on the Jewish community and for that, Jewish Federations of North America are grateful and wish him luck in the final months of his presidency and in his future
