We are incredibly pleased to announce that veteran journalist, author and former host of NBC’s Meet the Press, Chuck Todd, is joining the celebrity speaker lineup for this special event.
It is because of our community’s supporters that Jewish Palm Beach is responding immediately with life-saving emergency relief for the people of Israel who are suffering unimaginable pain.
On behalf of the Board of Directors of Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County and our local and global partner organizations, we invite donors at all levels to attend this Celebrating Philanthropy.
Together we will explore how we collectively shape a vibrant and secure future for Jewish Palm Beach, Israel and Jewish communities around the world today, tomorrow and forever.
