Join us at this year’s special event, Israel Matters, where we’ll stand strong in our support of the State of Israel, the IDF, and the remaining hostages and their families, and where we’ll celebrate the resilience of the Jewish people. As the ongoing war consumes our hearts and minds, it’s never been more important to come together as a community.

We’ll also pay tribute to Rabbi Menachem Creditor, UJA’s Pearl and Ira Meyer scholar-in-residence, who has led more than 1,000 virtual learning sessions, created community, and has changed the way we come together to find comfort. In honor of Yom Yerushalayim, enjoy a performance by award-winning singer Neshama Carlebach.

Exciting speaker to be announced soon. Men and women are welcome to attend.

Plus, you’ll learn more about what your support makes possible as UJA responds to the ongoing needs on the ground in Israel.

 

This event is hosted by UJA Interboro Women. Dietary laws observed.
