Esther Renzer, Roz & Jerry Rothstein

Dismayed by the lack of organized support for Israelis in the face of the Second Intifada, three Californians refused to be bystanders.

​

Roz and her husband, Jerry, and friend Esther Renzer realized so much more needed to be done — and founded StandWithUs.

 

For over 20 years, StandWithUs has been dedicated to challenging misinformation about Israel through education. As the attacks against Israel’s very legitimacy proliferate in the world community in the forms of boycott campaigns, UN and media bias, and historical distortions, the mission to educate people of all ages and fight against antisemitism is more critical now than ever before.

 

The organization that Roz, Jerry and Esther founded empowers and energizes students and communities with leadership training and educational programs on hundreds of college campuses, high schools, and middle schools. StandWithUs informs through social media, print and digital materials that reach millions, films, weekly newsletters and missions to Israel — with programs on five continents.

 

We are indebted to Roz, Jerry and Esther who gave birth to a movement that has touched lives of so many and made a positive difference across the globe.
