During a special meeting in New York City on May 20, Israel Bonds celebrated its 75th anniversary and appointed Laura Stein, a Los Angeles attorney, as the new chair of the National Campaign Advisory Council. Stein takes over from Larry Olschwanger, who played a crucial role in leading the organization through the aftermath of the October 7, 2023, Hamas attacks. Under Olschwanger's leadership, Israel Bonds launched an emergency investment campaign that generated over $1 billion within a month, contributing to a total of more than $7.7 billion raised since the attacks. Stein, who has a long history with Israel Bonds, emphasized the importance of reactivating community support during challenging times, stating, "We've all been through a lot, but I want our lay leaders to understand we still need them more than ever." Her vision includes expanding outreach to new communities and engaging lay leaders to highlight the impact of investing in Israel Bonds. As the organization marks this significant milestone, Stein expressed her commitment to continuing the mission of raising capital for Israel's economic development, stating, "I feel like I'm filling the big shoes of my mother, who played such an active role in so many important Jewish organizations."
