Greater Philadelphia

Our 2019 Gala will take place on Tuesday, September 24 at the Hilton Philadelphia City Avenue, 4200 City Avenue in Philadelphia. Dietary laws observed.

Each year Greater Philadelphia ZOA has an evening when we celebrate America and Israel, Patriotism and Zionism; enjoy the camaraderie and fellowship of those who also love Israel; and most importantly, recognize those from our region whose devotion to the Land and People of Israel rises to the upper echelons of what it means to be a Zionist.

We are pleased to announce our Greater Philadelphia ZOA 2019 Gala honorees:

What each of our honorees has done and continues to do -- whether in their professions, or among their peers and circles of friends, or in their congregation, or in the world of politics – is both inspiring and vitally important.

They are each worthy of your warm “Mazel Tov” and a from-the-heart “Thank you!”

We are looking forward to handing each of these honorees their respective award.

We hope that each of you will be a part of this celebration in person at our Gala, and in the pages of our Gala Tribute Book and Ad Journal.

Our streamlined Gala will take place at the Hilton Philadelphia City Avenue. The festivities will include a sumptuous glatt-kosher reception, the awards ceremony and an outstanding dessert reception. The remarks from our honorees that will stir your soul and inspire you to even greater activism – you will want to be there to enjoy and take it all in.

Meanwhile, our Gala Tribute Book and Ad Journal is a perfect vehicle to publicly thank and congratulate our honorees, proclaim your personal pro-Israel message or salute ZOA and our leadership.

The Ad Journal is also a great space to promote your business or a business that you have a relationship with.
