The Main Event – A Night to Celebrate Community and Israel
Professor Alan M. Dershowitz
On Thursday, February 16, 2012, hundreds of people will come together for the Greater Miami Jewish Federation 2012 Main Event. This annual gathering is more than a celebration – it is also a demonstration of our community’s commitment to helping Jewish people in need in Miami and worldwide, as well as solidarity with the people and State of Israel. During this memorable evening, Professor Alan M. Dershowitz of Harvard Law School will be honored with the 2012 Friend of Israel Humanitarian Award.
Dershowitz, the Felix Frankfurter Professor of Law at Harvard Law School, is an unwavering advocate for Israel and a long-time friend of Miami’s Jewish community. He has published more than 100 articles in magazines, newspapers and journals such as The New York Times Magazine, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, The New Republic, The Nation, Commentary, Saturday Review, The Harvard Law Review and the Yale Law Journal, and more than 300 of his articles have appeared in syndication nationally. Dershowitz has also written 27 fiction and non-fiction works.
The Main Event, which is being chaired by Stephanie and Jules Trump, begins with a cocktail reception at 5:30 p.m. at the Hilton Miami Downtown, 1601 Biscayne Boulevard.
Non-tax-deductible couvert for the event is $95 per person, or $54 for those age 30 and under.
