Athletes For Israel combats antisemitism and racism by fostering a positive narrative about Israel. AFI was founded with the vision of bringing top sports figures to experience Israel firsthand, connecting them to its history, culture, innovation and, most importantly, its people. Our programs have expanded to include activities that utilize sports as a tool for building bridges across communities, and are anchored by Israel advocacy.

ISRAEL
AFI partners with professional and collegiate athletes on immersive trips to Israel, for an experiential education designed to highlight the depth of its culture, diversity, beauty, and history, as well as all its importance for the global future with its vibrant and innovative tech scene. During these journeys, athletes experience Israel firsthand—visiting historical landmarks, engaging in cultural activities, volunteering with local communities, and participating in athletic competitions. Along the way, they share authentic stories across extensive social media platforms, reaching millions and challenging biased narratives with raw, inspiring content.

"I have so much gratitude for Athletes for Israel for allowing us to have this opportunity to go to Israel. I came out more motivated to be even more dedicated to my faith and I am super grateful for that opportunity."
"The Bible preaches unity. Even though we competed against each other we are all in it for one thing, we are all in this in unity. That meant the world to me. It shows basketball has no borders."
"I took my players to Israel because I wanted them to see that there is not much of a difference between my Jewish upbringing and their Christian faith. Israel and basketball brings everyone together."
"To be here in Israel where I get to feel so at home with a sense of well-being and spirituality and holiness around me, it's just an unbelievable feeling that you can't replace."
"If not for Israel, where do our Jewish brothers and sisters go? Here, they are respected. Here, all people are respected. That’s what we are all about."
“[the trip was]… the most incredible journey I have ever taken…what I didn’t know was that I’d not only experience a misrepresented country but that I’d also feel love, compassion, understanding, and wisdom in a way that I haven’t experienced before.”
