In 1967, during the Six-Day War, thousands of Australian Jews rallied in support of Israel. The ZFA launched nationwide fundraising and advocacy campaigns and coordinated the registration of over 1,500 volunteers to assist. 250 young Australians were selected to travel to Israel to help fill civilian vacancies left by those called to military service.
In 1973, during the Yom Kippur War, the ZFA once again coordinated major fundraising efforts, volunteer recruitment and public advocacy on Israel’s behalf.
