Congressional and Staff Delegations

J Street Education Fund missions are motivated by the organization’s love for Israel and concern for Israel’s long-term future as a democratic homeland for the Jewish people. Our objective is to provide Members of Congress and congressional staff with a balanced view of critical issues affecting the US relationship with Israel and, in particular, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Participants should emerge with an in-depth understanding of the facts on the ground, the politics of the moment and the options for American leadership to help resolve the conflict.

Our next Congressional delegation will take place February 14 – 21, 2025. To learn more about our delegations, please contact Cooper Boyar at [email protected].

American Jewish Public Opinion Polling

J Street has regularly commissioned polls to keep track of American Jewish public opinion on Israel and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The respected polling firm GBA strategies conducts these polls, including polls of American Jewish voters on every election night since 2010. This large body of data makes clear that American Jews consistently and overwhelmingly support pro-Israel, pro-peace policies and the tough diplomacy needed to solve problems in the Middle East.
