Honorary Chairs

Portrait of Honorary Chair, Jonathan Tisch.

“Partnering with local organizations such as the Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County is even more critical during this unprecedented and uncertain time. We have a responsibility, wherever and however possible, to continue to support their primary role.”

– Jonathan Tisch

“I have a philosophy which I refer to as ‘engaged philanthropy,’ which means I like to be actively engaged in the organizations I support. The Palm Beach Jewish community needs that support.”

– Peter May

“It’s up to us to lead with legacy and inspire the next generation in order to build a stronger Jewish community for years to come.”

– Jon Harris

Members are acknowledged annually on Federation’s website and in several publications, including the Palm Beach Daily News and Federation’s Honor Roll, in addition to being listed as the H. Irwin Levy Founders Event Committee.Leadership Circle members also benefit from Federation’s VIP concierge service to arrange curated site visits and family volunteer opportunities.

Our Community Is Growing

While some of us have enjoyed life in Palm Beach for years, we are now seeing a significant migration of new and younger residents from all over the country. This community is now recognized as “Wall Street South,” with many employees of financial services firms establishing roots here. As we continue to flourish as a center of Jewish life, we anticipate 200,000 people will live in local Jewish households by 2026.

The Jewish Palm Beach Leadership Circle plans for this growth in a way that sets an inspirational example for Jewish communities worldwide.

Impact that Leads
