Israel, US and UK Join Forces for Military Drills Online: jewishexponent.com/events/
F-35 fighter jets from Israel joined with F-35s from the
United States and United Kingdom in an exercise above the
Mediterranean Sea, the Israel Defense Forces said on June 26,
JNS.org reported.

The exercise, which was named Tri-Lightning, simulated
combat against advanced aircraft and previous-generation fight-
ers. Multiple scenarios were presented, with other aircraft used
as “enemies,” the U.S. Air Force said in a release.

The goal of the exercise was to improve coordination and
interoperability among the three countries.

Businesses from Israel Generated $18.6 Billion
in Revenue to New York City in 2018
Businesses founded in Israel produced $18.6 billion — and $33.8 bil-
lion when spending on local goods and services is included, JNS.org
reported, citing a report by the New York-Israel Business Alliance.

The $33.8 billion represents 2% of the city’s gross domestic
product.

The report data includes 506 Israel companies and mentions
five “unicorn companies” that are valued at $1 billion or more;
they are WeWork, Taboola, Payoneer, Lemonade and Compass.

The 506 companies directly employ 24,850 New York res-
idents. Another 27,502 are indirectly employed as it relates to
additional demand for locally sourced goods and services.

“Part of the key to understanding Israel’s success abroad is to
understand the people and the land,” said alliance founder and
President Aaron Kaplowitz. “The Israeli population is highly
educated and comprised primarily of first- or second-generation
immigrants — natural risk-takers — who acquire leadership and
technical skills during their military service.”

The Israeli companies in New York secured $3.5 billion in venture
capital funding between 2014 and 2016, according to the report. l

the city’s status as a welcoming home for LGBTQ people, and of the cultural
and legal strides LGBTQ Israelis have made toward greater acceptance and
equality. However, for many LGBTQ Israelis, daunting challenges still exist.

That’s where Israel Gay Youth comes in: an Israeli nonprofit that works
within formal and informal education systems to embrace, teach and support
LGBTQ Israelis between the ages of 13 and 23.

“We want Israeli youth to feel welcome and loved no matter who they are,”
said Liana Meirom, international secretary of IGY.

To do so, the organization teaches courses on gender and sexuality in more
than 40 classrooms and hosts more than 45 social groups to establish safe
environments where teens and young adults can freely express their sexual
orientation and gender identity. IGY’s leadership teams also help prepare the
next generation of leaders with the skills they’ll need to continue developing
Israel as a nation of equality.

IGY is the only organization serving all LGBTQ Israelis — regardless of
religion, culture or geography — and hosts programs across the entire region.
They also operate four youth centers in Tel Aviv, Afula, Rishon LeZion and
Petah Tiqwa, helping young LGBTQ individuals socialize and find support in
challenging moments.
