Streisand attended a pro-Israel rally at the Hollywood Bowl, Los Angeles, to raise emergency funds for Israel after the Six-Day War. The rally was co-sponsored by the Jewish Federation-Counsel of Greater Los Angeles and the Los Angeles Committee for State of Israel Bonds, 11th June 1967.

“Rally For Israel’s Survival” featured several speakers (Rabbi Herbert Friedman, Albert A. Spiegel, and Joseph Mitchell, as well as California Governor at the time, Ronald Reagan).
There were many celebrity attendees, too: Frank Sinatra, Dinah Shore, Edward G. Robinson, Danny Kaye, Peter Sellers, Carl Reiner, Nehemiah Persoff, Agnes Morehead ... and Barbra Streisand.
Streisand attended and did not perform, although she made a speech from on stage.
