A Delegation from Westchester Will Join Thousands of Proud American Zionists at the Global Conference for Israel
A delegation from Westchester will join thousands of proud American Zionists at the Global Conference for Israel for a weekend filled with camaraderie, inspiration, and riveting speakers who exemplify Israel’s positive contributions to the world.
The annual multi-day spectacular event, best known for showcasing the pride and beauty of Zionism, providing attendees with practical tools to be proactive rather than reactive when it comes to antisemitism, and sharing first-hand accounts about the realities on the ground in Israel, will take place November 14-17, 2024, in Dallas, Texas.
Attendees will hear insights from key thought leaders, explore an interactive Israel expo, take part in one of the largest Shabbat dinners in the world, hear what’s being done to support Jewish students on college campuses and learn about initiatives that are already rebuilding Israel’s battered North and South.
“Our world changed on October 7, but if anything, the Jewish people have become more resolute as we work to lift up our sisters and brothers in Israel,” said Co-President of Jewish National Fund-USA’s Westchester & Southern CT Board of Directors Brenda Benn. “It is clear that personal connections, sharing stories, and coming together are more important now than ever. If there was ever a time for supporters of Israel to gather, now is that time.”
Participants at the Global Conference will also:
• Explore the future of American Jewry with Rabbi David Wolpe
• Laugh with actor, comedian, and outspoken advocate for Israel, Michael Rapaport at the Saturday night gala.
• Hear from Col. Richard Kemp about the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) high moral code of ethics.
• Find out how antisemitism is being combatted on college campuses from Mothers Against College Antisemitism (MACA) founder Elizabeth Rand, Columbia Professor Shai Davidai, and current students.
• Enjoy jaw-dropping musical performances by Jewish National Fund-USA’s Special in Uniform Band.
• Discover how the World Zionist Village will spark a new conversation and revolutionize Zionist and Jewish educational engagement for the decades ahead.
• Enjoy an elegant Saturday evening gala.
• Meet Jewish National Fund-USA’s affiliates, who will highlight the organization’s philanthropic investments in Israel.
• Take part in exclusive briefings on thought-provoking topics.
“Sometimes only through adversity do we realize our true strength and resilience,” added Co-President of Jewish National Fund-USA’s Westchester & Southern CT Board of Directors Michael Benn. “Everywhere you look, Jewish and pro-Israel communities are using their voices to support Israel. Together, we must continue to celebrate Eretz Yisrael and Jewish people everywhere – our collective grit, determination, and ingenuity – as we gather in Dallas for this historic event.”
The 2024 conference will once again welcome thousands of pro-Israel supporters and hundreds of students at the event’s high school and college summits.
