About JINSA
The Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs (JINSA) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, non-partisan and nonsectarian educational organization committed to explaining the need for a prudent national security policy for the United States, addressing the security requirements of both the United States and the State of Israel, and strengthening the strategic cooperation relationship between these two great democracies.

Founded as a result of the lessons learned from the 1973 Yom Kippur War, JINSA communicates with the national security establishment and the general public to explain the role Israel can and does play in bolstering American interests, as well as the link between American defense policy and the security of Israel.

Over the years, JINSA has achieved a reputation as a credible and independent resource. Its findings and recommendations are published in a variety of formats including a web site, JINSA Online (jinsa.org); regular op-eds called JINSA Reports distributed by e-mail; The Journal of International Security Affairs; periodic think-pieces called Viewpoints; and occasional books, monographs and conference proceedings.

JINSA’s annual programs include sponsoring a trip for retired United States Flag and General Officers to Israel and a study program in Israel for cadets and midshipmen from the Naval Academy, the Military Academy at West Point, and the Air Force Academy. JINSA also arranges interchanges between Pentagon officials and Jewish community leadership and sponsors lectures and conferences at the national military academies and leading national security think tanks. These programs are aimed at facilitating dialogue between security policy makers, military officials, diplomats, and the community at large to increase the understanding of national security issues.

JINSA is a national organization based in Washington D.C. It receives support from more than 17,000 members nationwide and is governed by a Board of Directors comprised of key figures in the national security community and leadership throughout the country.
