Greater Philadelphia ZOA is privileged to be able to recognize at our 2026 Night of Appreciation the following honorees for their work on behalf of the Jewish People, Israel, Zionism and the US-Israel relationship:

• Ambassador Jeff Bartos: Defender of Israel Award
• Department of Justice Senior Council Leo Terrell leading the Antisemitism Task Force: The Bernie Marcus Warrior Award for Defense of Jewry & Israel
• Advertising/Marketing mogul Leo Levinson: Pillar of the Community Award
• Businessman Harvey Spear: Liberty Award for Outstanding Public Service
• Journalist Christine Flowers: Ben Hect Award for Outstanding Journalism

We are looking forward to an extraordinary event honoring honoring each of them on Oct. 21 in Philadelphia.

In addition to hearing from each of them as they receive their awards, National ZOA President Morton Klein will deliver his annual address, and our master-of-ceremonies: communal leader Gary Erlbaum, will keep the evening running briskly.

You can now reserve space in our event Tribute Book and Ad Journal to congratulate and thank our honorees, and/or to promote your business or service. All full-page ads include admissions to the event — saving you money.
