Two Highly Esteemed Israeli Leaders to Speak at The Main Event



As we stand in solidarity with Israel at this critical time, Federation is honored to welcome Guest of Honor Ambassador of Israel to the United States Michael Herzog to The Main Event of the Greater Miami Jewish Federation on Sunday, February 18 at the Loews Miami Beach. Also taking the stage as Keynote Speaker will be former Israeli President Reuven Rivlin. Plus, join your Jewish community as we pay tribute to Federation President and CEO Jacob Solomon with the Friend of Israel Humanitarian Award on the occasion of his retirement after more than 42 years of service.

A former General in the Israel Defense Forces, His Excellency Ambassador Herzog hails from an esteemed Israel family renowned for its long lineage of public service. His Excellency Reuven “Ruvi” Rivlin, was the 10th President of Israel and a man greatly admired.

The Main Event is Federation’s largest fundraiser of the year and an opportunity to show solidarity with Israel, especially since Hamas’ brutal terrorist attack on October 7. Chair of the Board Ariel Bentata and Campaign Chair Lily Serviansky will co-chair the event. Couvert is $136 per person, $90 for Jewish communal professionals and $54 for those age 30 and under, and includes a light buffet dinner and dessert reception. Click here to RSVP.
