About Us

American Friends of Likud is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit American educational organization.  Donations are 100% tax-deductible and are used solely to fund AFL's educational programs, events and Missions to Israel. 

AFL maintains unparalleled access to the Likud Ministers and Members of Knesset as well as close relationships with other Israeli dignitaries and policy and opinion makers.  Our programs feature these individuals as guest speakers, lecturers and educators.  Our special relationships with Israel's leaders, dignitaries, journalists, etc. have been developed over the years and are based on a mutual belief in a right-leaning Likud philosophy - hence the name.  AFL informs and educates it members through its diverse programs for its President's Club, Young Leadership and General Membership. As a result, AFL provides its members with opportunities to meaningfully interact with Israel's leaders and to hopefully affect the Israel conversation.

(AFL's name is a bit of a misnomer.  AFL is not an extension of the Israeli political party -  Likud.  All funds raised by AFL only go toward its educational programs and events and not the Likud party, its Ministers or MKs).

AFL President's Club.  AFL's President's Club members are a select group of people who meet in private, more intimate settings with Israeli Ministers and MKs as well as prominent Israeli dignitaries, decision and opinion makers. These exclusive, off-the-record briefings, both in Israel on our missions and in the U.S., allow our President's Club members the opportunity to spend quality time with Israel's leaders and ask the questions they may not be able to in a larger forum.  These opportunities allow for dialogue on a much more personal level, which encourages a meaningful exchange of ideas. The nature of President's Club events also allows for our members to develop and maintain personal relationships with Israel's opinion and decision makers.  President's Club members are invited to join annual Leadership Missions to Israel along with our Board Members where they participate in meetings and briefings in and around the Knesset and visit historic and strategic areas that form the defensive safeguard for the State of Israel.

AFL's Young Leadership - the Next Generation of Zionist Leaders. AFL's Young Leadership program is a testament to AFL's driving focus to inform and educate the Next Generation of Zionist Leaders.  The AFL Young Leadership program routinely hosts nearly 100 young professionals at its monthly events.  These events have featured Likud Ministers & MKs, Israeli dignitaries, journalists, educators and various experts on the Middle East, politics and history.  Each summer, our Young Leaders are invited to join an intense 4-5 day Mission to Israel where they are given the opportunity to gain insight and perspective by meeting Israel's leaders "on-the-ground" in Israel .   AFL's YL Mission aims to educate its participants with an intellectual, insider's view of the challenges Israel faces regionally and politically. 
AFL membership is truly an investment in the future of the Jewish people and the State of Israel.
