Shalom ZOA Members, Friends and Supporters of Israel,

We hope that you and your loved ones are well.

We are delighted to announce our honorees for our 2021 Virtual Gala: Two truly deserving couples. Please see the graphic below for the names of our honorees. They will be part of a national lineup of honorees and speakers that will include Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, former United States Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and ZOA’s National President – our own Morton Klein. The Gala will take place on Sunday, Dec. 19, and you can enjoy it all from the comfort of your home!

In the coming weeks we will offer details about our honorees’ wide, varied and important activities on behalf of the Jewish People, Zionism and Israel.

Please join us in congratulating them and thanking them for all that they have done!

You can publicly thank and congratulate them with a notice in our annual Gala Tribute Book and Ad Journal, where you can also promote a business or service.

The Journal website and form will be available shortly. Check your email inbox. Please support Greater Philadelphia ZOA’s vital work with your notice or ad.

Call us if you would like more information or have questions at 610-660-9466.

Greater Philadelphia ZOA plans to have elections later this year both for officers and for members of our Board of Directors. Your wisdom, experience, know-how and commitment to Israel and the Jewish People can help our chapter succeed and accomplish more as a part of our inner circle. Brainstorm and work closely with some of our region’s most dedicated Zionists to promote Israel and Zionism, strengthen the US-Israel relationship in our region and defend the Jewish community.

All members in good standing are eligible for consideration. To learn more, please call Executive Director Steve Feldman at 610-660-9466

Earlier this month a wonderful couple in Cherry Hill hosted a Greater Philadelphia ZOA parlor meeting at their home and ironically the audience consisted of nothing but “actors on the stage”: Pro-Israel/pro-Zionist/pro-Jewish activists who truly commit their time, efforts and energy to helping the community. It was a pleasure to be in their company to discuss key issues, sharpen their advocacy/activism skills and of course to discuss all that the Zionist Organization of America does locally and nationally.

These attendees realize the heightened level of anti-Jewish activity throughout America and in our region — and that it cannot be thwarted by looking on passively. They realize – to cite a still-relevant adage: “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”

Are you a strong advocate for Israel, Zionism and the Jewish People? Do you have friends, neighbors, colleagues or family members who share that passion and who want to get involved in educating the community, pro-actively strengthening support for Israel and the Jewish People and combatting Jew-hatred – or be more effective at what they are already doing? Do you want to let them know about ZOA and the vital work that we engage in?

Please consider hosting a Greater Philadelphia ZOA parlor meeting to accomplish all of the above … and more.

For details, please call Executive Director Steve Feldman at 610-660-9466.
