Who We Are

Welcome to SAFI

SAFI (South African Friends of Israel) is a dedicated movement committed to uniting South Africans in support of Israel and the Jewish community. Founded in response to the rise of anti-Israel sentiments, our organization aims to challenge these narratives by promoting a positive, informed understanding of Israel’s vital role in the world today.

Who We Are

At the core of SAFI’s mission is the belief that the Jewish people and the State of Israel hold profound significance within the Christian faith. The biblical connection between the Jewish people and the land of Israel, rooted in God’s covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, is a key element of Christian teachings. This historical and spiritual bond drives our commitment to educating South African Christians about Israel’s importance within their faith and its relevance to contemporary global issues.

Programmes and Partnerships

Through grassroots initiatives, educational programs, and strong partnerships, SAFI seeks to build a community of support for Israel across South Africa. We strive to create spaces for open, respectful dialogue that counteract misinformation and promote mutual understanding, fostering solidarity with Israel that benefits all communities.
