In Honor of Lourdes and Ike’s Wedding

We are so pleased that you have chosen to celebrate Lourdes and Ike’s wedding by making a tax-deductible gift to the Israel Democracy Institute (IDI).

Israel is perhaps the most challenged democracy in the world. The combination of grave existential threats, deep internal divisions, and a short tradition of democratic sovereignty poses serious challenges to Israel’s future as a Jewish and democratic state. In order to thrive and prosper under these conditions, Israel must pursue smart policies that are grounded in rigorous thinking and long-term planning. We at IDI are proud of our track-record over the past 30 years, as a non-partisan center of research and action serving Israeli decision-makers, standing up for Israel’s young democracy, and illuminating the path towards a future of social solidarity, economic prosperity and strong constitutional foundations.

Ike has been a longtime friend of IDI and an invaluable board member of the American Friends of the Israel Democracy Institute. We know how meaningful your donation will be to Lourdes and Ike, and on behalf of all of us at the Israel Democracy Institute, we thank you for supporting our work to strengthen the foundations of Israeli democracy.
