The Main Event – A Night for Our Community to Celebrate Israel!
More than 1,200 supporters of the Greater Miami Jewish Federation will come together for one important evening – The 2011 Main Event – on Thursday, February 24, 2011. This annual event is a “don’t-miss” occasion, with a delicious kosher dinner, compelling guest speakers, outstanding entertainment and a strong sense of community spirit. But more than anything, the 2011 Main Event promises to be a night for our community to celebrate Israel.
The Main Event, Federation’s largest community gathering, begins at 5:30 p.m. at the Hilton Miami Downtown, 1601 Biscayne Boulevard.
Chairs of the 2011 event are Janet and Richard Yulman.
The keynote speaker at The Main Event will be Dan Senor, the co-author of the New York Times best-seller Start-Up Nation: The Story of Israel’s Economic Miracle, which addresses how Israel — a country of 7.1 million people, only sixty years old, surrounded by enemies, in a constant state of war since its founding, with no natural resources — produces more start-up companies than large, peaceful, and stable nations like Japan, China, India, Korea, Canada, and the United Kingdom.

They are pillars of the Greater Miami Jewish Federation/UJA Annual Campaign, demonstrating their profound concern for Israel and the well-being of our people. .
