Consul General of Israel to the Pacific Northwest Ron Gerstenfeld, Deputy Consul General Maya Avishai, and Chief Economic Consul Michal Nidam recently held a series of productive meetings with government leaders and officials in Sacramento.

The delegation met with Sacramento County Supervisor Rosario Rodriguez, Sacramento Mayor Kevin McCarty, Matt Ceccato, District Director in the Office of U.S. Representative Ami Bera, M.D., California Water Director Thomas Gibson, and Carol Tate, Principal Assistant at the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA).

The conversations offered a valuable opportunity to exchange ideas, highlight shared priorities, and explore new avenues for collaboration in areas of mutual interestโ€”including water, agriculture, innovation, and economic development.

These engagements reflect Israelโ€™s commitment to deepening its relationships with Californiaโ€™s local and state leadership and to building meaningful partnerships that benefit our communities.

We look forward to continuing the conversation and strengthening the ties between Israel and California. ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐ŸŒ‰๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

Remembering October 7 in Montana ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

โ€‹Yesterday, Deputy Consul General Maya Avishai represented the Consulate General of Israel in San Francisco at the State Capitol in Helena, joining the Montana Senate to mark three years since October 7.

โ€‹Standing in the Senate to represent Israel was a deeply meaningful moment. October 7 is far more than a date on a calendar; the nation carries forward the memory of that somber morning, the lives lost, the families forever changed, and the pain that continues to reverberate across Israel and around the world.

โ€‹The Consulate General expresses its sincere gratitude to Governor Greg Gianforte for issuing a meaningful proclamation in remembrance of October 7, and to Lieutenant Governor Kristen Juras and Senate President Matt Regier for hosting the delegation and standing in strong solidarity with the Israeli people.

โ€‹In commemoration of the third anniversary of October 7, the Consulate General of Israel in San Francisco, led by Consul General Ron Gerstenfeld, joined local community organizations and members at the Menorah Center for an evening of remembrance and solidarity.

โ€‹The solemn gathering remembered every life lost in the Hamas terrorist attacks on October 7, 2023โ€”honoring the families who lost loved ones, the survivors who continue to carry the wounds of that day, and all whose lives were forever changed.

โ€‹In his remarks, Consul General Gerstenfeld also highlighted the extraordinary courage and resilience of Israeli society. In the aftermath of the attacks, first responders and soldiers rushed toward danger, volunteers opened their homes, and Israelis from all walks of life united to support the displaced, the wounded, the bereaved, and the families of the hostages.

He underscored that, after โ€‹three years, Israel continues to rebuild, heal, and look toward the future with determination and hope.

On the sidelines of the event, attendees also experienced a moving exhibition by Israeli artist Melanie Gal, featuring powerful portraits and stories of October 7 survivors.

Pictured delivering their speeches are Consul General Ron Gerstenfeld; Rom El-Hai, Nova festival survivor; Rabbi Shimon Margolin, and Oleg Ivanov of StandWithUs.

โ€‹Israel remembers. Israel honors. Israel stands together. ๐ŸŽ—๏ธ
