The Ruderman Family Foundation is a private philanthropic foundation that operates in the United States and Israel to strengthen the relationship between Israel and American Jewry. It does so by focusing on fostering a sense of mutual commitment between the State of Israel and the Jewish community in the United States. The Foundation aims to raise awareness, generate and disseminate knowledge, and promote positive attitudes among the Israeli public toward the American Jewish community. We believe that the partnership between Israel and the American Jewish community is a strategic asset to the strength and prosperity of Israel and the entire Jewish people. As part of the Foundation’s work, special emphasis is being put frequently on the creation of new impactful research.
