Shalom ZOA Members, Friends and Supporters of Israel,

We hope that this email finds you well.

While the Greater Philadelphia Region is one of our nation’s epicenters of anti-Jewish activity, we are blessed in that our region is also home to some of the most dedicated, tenacious and active supporters and defenders of the Jewish People, Zionism and Israel in the world.

Each year, Greater Philadelphia ZOA chooses several of these leading activists to publicly thank and pay tribute to them at our annual major event – and each year, each of you has the same opportunity to honor each of these men and women and pay tribute to their dedication and accomplishments, courtesy of our “Night of Appreciation Tribute Book.”

We ask that you participate in our event Tribute Book and join with us in thanking and congratulating each of our honorees. Our Tribute Book will be a keepsake for each of our honorees. They will cherish and be inspired by your recognition of their efforts – and your admiration will inspire others to increase their own advocacy and activism.

On September 18 at Greater Philadelphia ZOA’s Night of Appreciation we will honor businesswoman and philanthropist Judith Krupnick of Cherry Hill Volvo; United States Senator John Fetterman, D-PA; Rabbi Ira Flax of Har Zion Temple; University of Pennsylvania senior Noah Rubin; and talk-radio hosts Dom Giordano and Rich Zeoli of WPHT.

Being outspoken in support of Israel, Zionism and the well-being of the Jewish People has not been popular frankly for decades. Since October 7, when Palestinian-Arabs murdered, maimed and raped thousands of Israelis, and a corresponding wave of anti-Jewish/anti-Israel/anti-Zionist swept through much of America — supporting and defending Zionism, Jewry and Israel has become somewhat dangerous for one’s business, one’s career, one’s ability to succeed in school and one’s personal safety. Yet this fact has not only not deterred any of our honorees – it has made each of them more outspoken and more committed to this cause.

This is why this year’s Night of Appreciation is more significant than our past events, and that is why each of our honorees is even more deserving of our – and your – gratitude and encouragement.
