Watch Ryan Bellerose’s Presentation to Greater Philadelphia ZOA
Greater Philadelphia ZOA was proud to present “An Evening With Ryan Bellerose” featuring the Canadian Indian indigenous-rights activist who has taken up the cause of the Jewish People’s rights to the Land of Israel as the indigenous people.
The event took place on June 20, 2016 at Congregation Mikveh Israel, the synagogue of the American Revolution.
You can watch Bellerose’s presentation plus the Q & A here: https://youtu.be/MmetryWIw-o
Rabbi Albert Gabbai, religious leader of Mikveh Israel and a member of the Greater Philadelphia ZOA Board, opened the event with a welcome. He was followed by Hillel Zaremba, director of community relations for the Israel Consulate for the Mid-Atlantic, who brought greetings from the State of Israel. Greater Philadelphia ZOA Executive Director Steve Feldman spoke about Philadelphia ZOA and the work the organization does and why supporting our organization is vital. Greater Philadelphia ZOA Co-President Kevin Ross introduced Bellerose, who spoke for about an hour. There was then a 20-minute question-and-answer session. Greater Philadelphia ZOA presented Bellerose with a book about former Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir as a token of our appreciation.
The event was sponsored by Greater Philadelphia ZOA Board Members Gene Shusman and Henry Frank.
We are looking forward to having another event with Ryan Bellerose in the Fall.

Greater Philadelphia ZOA Looking for Volunteers
Greater Philadelphia ZOA needs volunteers to make calls for our Gala for the next two weeks, and we will need people to help with a mailing next week.
The calls can be mad
e from your home or office, while the mailing will take place in the Bala Cynwyd area.
Our Annual Gala is Greater Philadelphia ZOA’s major fundraising activity of the year. A successful Gala will enable our organization to continue and perhaps increase our pro-Israel initiatives. The calls and mailings are important elements toward a successful Gala.
If you can spare some time helping Greater Philadelphia ZOA, we would greatly appreciate it.
We are also looking for volunteers for our special event that we are having with Ryan Bellerose on June 20 at Mikveh Israel in Center City, and for an event that we will be having during the Democratic National Convention in late July.
Please call our Office at 610-660-9466 or email us if you are able to volunteer.
Thank you.
