Have a Business? Know Someone Who Does?

Why not promote your business or service – or theirs – in Greater Philadelphia ZOA’s 2017 Gala Ad Journal?

Everyone who attends our Gala will see the book, plus an electronic version will be emailed to our members, supporters and contacts; it will be on our social media sites; and on our Web page. Throughout the year, we remind people via email to check out the book online and patronize our advertisers.

Ads are a great way to reach potential new clients or customers. They also enable Greater Philadelphia ZOA to have programs and activities throughout the year to educate, advocate and reach out on behalf of a secure, strong and vibrant Jewish State of Israel; a strong mutually beneficial U.S.-Israel relationship; and a secure Jewish community.

Don’t have a business? Please consider placing a notice to congratulate our honorees and to thank them for what they do throughout the year for Israel; to state your support for Israel; or perhaps to salute ZOA during our 120^th anniversary year.

Please see the link immediately below for an electronic version of our ad-space reservation form. Below that is a link to our Eventbrite page, where you can purchase an ad or notice electronically. Some ads/notices include tickets to our Gala. If you have any questions, please call our Office at 610-660-9466.

Thank you in advance for your support!

Support the Taylor Force Act!

HR 1164 in the House, and the corresponding S474 in the Senate, are both known as the Taylor Force Act, named in memory of an American who was murdered in Israel by a Palestinian-Arab. The Palestinian Authority pays terrorists a pension, or pays the pension to his or her family if they are eliminated. The bill calls for aid to be cut to the Palestinian Authority because it rewards terrorism and murderers.

Congressman Lloyd Smucker, who represents the Lancaster area, became one of the latest co-sponsors of the bill from our area. Please call him to thank him at:

202-225-2411.

There are other local lawmakers who have not yet become co-sponsors of the legislation.

They are:
