Chag Pesach Sameach!
As we recount the story of the journey
of the Jews from slavery to freedom during the Passover seder, we are reminded that freedom comes at a heavy price and a commitment to be responsible as a people.
Your commitment and dedication to NA’AMAT USA reflects the principles of that responsibility to maintain our historic past while looking toward a brighter future for all mankind.
As we celebrate this joyous holiday, I thank you for your ongoing support which enables NA’AMAT, both here and in Israel, to continue to provide the opportunity for all Israeli citizens to realize their full potential.
With my best wishes for you and your families for a Happy and Sweet Passover!
Chag Pesach Sameach!

PROTECT WOMEN’S HEALTH AND RIGHTS WORLDWIDE
Women’s rights are under severe attack. Access to health care including contraception and abortion as well as childcare, housing, welfare and other benefits are being slashed across the country. While an alarming number of rapes and sexual assaults are occurring every minute, states with anti-abortion legislation and the limiting of social services have attempted to curtail our hard fought fundamental rights in the form of control over our bodies. Following defeat after defeat, on February 28, 2013, a bipartisan Congress passed an extension of the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act, which extends and strengthens protections for all victims of violence, including students, racial minorities, immigrants and members of the lesbian, gay bisexual and transgender communities. This is a victory for women. It does not go far enough, however.
NA’AMAT USA applauds the Congress for its ability to set aside partisan differences and pass this important piece of legislation. After delegations from around the world gathered at the United Nations headquarters to support the elimination of gender-based violence against women and girls, we call upon you, Secretary of State John Kerry, to help ensure that the United States continues to be a champion for women’s rights. We ask that we not permit opponents of women’s health to monopolize the discussion. Comprehensive health care is too important a right to be ignored.
Please join NA’AMAT USA in protecting women from violence and ensuring our reproductive rights are a top priority for women around the world and here in the United States.
