A group of prominent American Jewish organizations has launched a billboard campaign in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem headlined “We stand with Israel” and “We stand with you.”

The campaign, which highlights the support for Israel from Jewish communities, celebrities and public officials from around the world, was initiated by the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, the Jewish Federations of North America and Voices of Israel.

The organizers intend for the campaign to spread messages of unity and support from around the world, especially from American Jewry.

“The heart of the Jewish nation beats together with the citizens of Israel and it is important that the public knows and feels this support,” they said in a written statement.
