Join us at our Palm Beach Annual Reception to honor Mindy Schneider and Michael Lesser, dedicated philanthropic leaders and cherished members of our community.

You’ll hear from Nadav Eyal, one of Israel’s leading journalists and political commentators, in conversation with UJA CEO Eric S. Goldstein. Nadav will draw on his extensive experience and insight to illuminate the Israel-Hamas ceasefire and hostage deal: what it means for Israel, now and in the future, and its broader implications for the Middle East region.

You’ll also help strengthen UJA’s work meeting the moment: healing and rebuilding Israel, combating antisemitism, and uplifting New Yorkers in need.
