| ClubZ – a Zionist club for teens | |
 We are seeking teens (and their parents) who would be interested in participating in ClubZ - a Zionist club for teens. Club Z provides an opportunity for teens to learn the history of Israel and antisemitism, develop leadership and advocacy skills with the focus on pro-Israeli advocacy, and provides the kids with an opportunity to interact with like-minded individuals.
The Club Z educational program explores a range of narratives on Israel and Zionism and addresses contemporary anti-Semitism by delving into its evolution.
We are working on bringing a Club Z pilot program to the Boston area this fall.

| RJCF JEWISH ADVOCACY | |
| RJCF created Jewish Advocacy project in 2014. The goal of the project is to combat anti-Semitism and anti-Israelism – that are actually indistinguishable now. For this, RJCF is actively involved in standing against Boycott, Divestment & Sanction (BDS) – a movement on college campuses and beyond that tries to isolate Israel economically. RJCF stood against anti-Semitism in Newton - exposing lies about Israel in school history material, and demanding that the school’s committee acts when anti-Semitic graffiti appeared in a Newton school. | |

| Jewish Advocacy: fighting for the anti-discrimination bill (against BDS) | |
 By Alex Koifman, RJCF PresidentDuring the summer the RJCF was actively involved in advocating at the MASS State House to pass the anti-discrimination bill prohibiting state contractors to discriminate people based on their country of origin.

Sadly, many enemies of Israel and supporters of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions against Israel (BDS) joined forces to block even this watered-down anti-BDS bill. Read the statement to the State House committee discussing the bill ... | |
