About Us

We are two Californians who are members and lay leaders of various organizations that support Jewish and non-Jewish causes and the State of Israel.

We became tired of people saying, " Why isn't there ever any positive news in the media about Israel ?" Thus, Israel Up Close was born.

Our news reports are about Israel and its citizens and, at times, Jewish events around the world. Many of the programs in the videos discuss topics and places unfamiliar to the general viewing public. We hope these stories will be beneficial to those interested in, and advocating for, Israel and world Jewry, to strengthen their resolve.

We do not accept donations.
