Our Mission
Betar USA is inspired by the vision of our founder, Ze’ev Jabotinsky: to empower Jews to stand strong, speak out, and defend their heritage and Israel against all threats. Guided by the motto “Jews Fight Back,” we are a movement dedicated to building pride, resilience, and leadership within the Jewish community.
Our mission is clear: to cultivate a new generation of Jewish leaders who are unapologetically proud and prepared to defend the Jewish people—on campuses, in communities, in the media, and beyond. Through education, activism, and community-building, Betar strengthens Jewish identity and ignites a passion for a united, empowered Jewish future.
Join us and become part of a century-old legacy that continues to shape the Jewish world. Betar isn’t just an organization—it’s a movement for those ready to lead, defend, and transform the future of the Jewish people. We ignite a spirit of active resistance against antisemitism and anti-Israel hostility through bold education, fearless advocacy, and unapologetic action.
Core Values:
- Strength and Empowerment: Instilling pride in Jewish identity and confidence in Zionist values.
- Unity and Support: Building a strong, united community prepared to confront antisemitism and defend Israel.
- Education and Leadership: Cultivating informed, courageous leaders who speak the truth about Jewish heritage and the State of Israel.
Betar USA is launching chapters in cities across the country to empower Jewish American activists to lead locally, take bold action for the Jewish people, and defend Zionism with clarity and conviction.
Inspired by Jabotinsky’s declaration—“Silence is despicable”—Betar exists to drive action, build unity, and ensure Jews everywhere embrace their identity with pride and strength.
Together, we will secure a resilient and thriving Jewish future.
