At this crucial moment for our New York and greater Jewish community, join UJA for our annual Palm Beach Cocktail Reception. 

We will honor Mindy Schneider and Michael Lesser, a dynamic couple whose philanthropic leadership is transformative and an inspiring guidepost for our own giving. We’ll also strengthen UJA’s work meeting the moment: helping heal Israel as we address evolving needs on the ground, combating the global surge of antisemitism, and uplifting New Yorkers in need.

Honoring
