Arnon Perlman, the Executive Director of International Sales and Operations (Europe and Latin America), who joined the meeting online from London, welcomed the group, providing an overview of Israel Bonds from a global perspective. “Israel Bonds was founded in large part due to committed, exceptional leadership. The global network of volunteers who do this out of a love for Israel have been the backbone of the program’s success. As leaders in Germany, you are in good company on the global stage and we are fortunate to have you stand with us as we work to scale new heights for Israel Bonds in Europe,” he said.

Michael Grauss, the Director of Israel Bonds in Germany, presented a sales update from 1 January to 30 September 30, 2019.  He also provided a summary of events for 2019 and some initial plans for 2020. "Israel Bonds in Germany has more than doubled the number of investors over the last three years and has increased total sales impressively. With your involvement as lay leaders, I am convinced that the potential for increased growth is significant."
