For me, the recognition of Israel is a story of two friends—one, a small businessman, imploring the other, the most powerful leader on earth, to listen to the story of a people who wanted and deserved the safety and self-determination of a sovereign nation. My grandfather, Harry Truman said, 'I have always been disturbed by the tragedy of people who have been made victims of intolerance and fanaticism because of their race, color or religion. These things should not be possible in a civilized society.'
Today, we face a backslide into hatred and intolerance—kindness, courage, and steadfastness will begin to reverse it.

Truman US-Israel Legacy
On May 14, 1948, the US became the first nation to recognize Israel just minutes after its founding. Weeks later, in the White House Rose Garden, Chaim Weizmann, Israel’s first president, gifted Truman with a sacred Torah scroll.
In 1972, after Truman’s death Israel issued a stamp in his honor.
President Truman admitted no issue was more

Judith founded LAJI to promote cultural exchange to honor human dignity and the sacred foundation that informs our global work today.
Uplifting Human Storytelling

MESSAGE FROM HIROSHIMA
As I was raised in Hiroshima, Los Alamos instantly reminded me of the bombing of Hiroshima on August, 6, 1945. At first I hesitated to visit but the warm personality of Judith Stauber helped me make the decision to actually visit. I cannot forget the warm welcome by Dr. Stauber and the people of Los Alamos. To my surprise, the beautiful blue sky and clear air made me feel refreshed and even familiar. After seeing exhibits and talking with people in Los Alamos—I reaffirmed the tremendous impact of science on humanity and the importance of faithfully facing history. ~Kenji Shiga, Former Director Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum
