Former Israeli Ambassador to Headline Pacesetter Event Thursday, December 11

The Pacesetter Event is one of the most important annual events for the Greater Miami Jewish Federation/UJA Campaign raising millions of dollars to support vital social services in Miami, in Israel and around the world.

On Thursday, December 11, hundreds of Miami’s most committed philanthropists will gather at the Hilton Miami Downtown to celebrate Jewish community and pledge their support for the most vulnerable.

Headlining the Pacesetter Event will be keynote speaker, The Honorable Michael Oren, former Israeli Ambassador to the United States, serving from 2009 to 2013. He currently holds the Abba Eban Chair in International Diplomacy at the Interdisciplinary Center in Herzliya, and is Ambassador-in-Residence at the Atlantic Council.
