Ohio bought $47.8 million in State of Israel Bonds, breaking its record for the largest, single government purchase of Israel Bonds in US history.
The purchase made earlier this month by the state’s Jewish treasurer, Josh Mandel, surpassed the mark of $42 million from 2013, the Cleveland Jewish News reported.
In addition to making the largest single purchase of Israel Bonds, Ohio also holds the record for the highest amount of Israel Bonds held by a state treasury at $105 million, according to the weekly, which noted the buy had bipartisan support in the state legislature.
“It shows the commitment the state of Ohio has made toward the State of Israel under Treasurer Mandel’s leadership, and it’s a solid investment for the state’s portfolio,” Alan Gottlieb, chairman of Israel Bonds for Greater Cleveland, told the Cleveland Jewish News.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
