ZOA’s Annual Event

Greater Philadelphia ZOA’s Night of Appreciation is just over one week away – on September 18.

 

If you have been waiting to purchase a reserved table for the event or individual admissions, please do not wait any longer! To help ensure that everyone has a wonderful and positive experience, we will need the names of ALL attendees by Monday, Sept. 16. There will be no admissions sold at the door – NO EXCEPTIONS. Also, we are sorry, but there can be no substitutions. No one will be admitted if we do not have the person’s name in advance.

 

Doors will open at 5:30 p.m. at the Hilton Philadelphia City Avenue.

 

We are anticipating a wonderful evening of warm camaraderie; inspiring remarks; ebullient support for Israel, America, Zionism, and Patriotism; and of course delicious kosher food and drink as we honor some of region’s most engaged advocates on behalf of the Jewish community and Israel – and the truth:

 

Businesswoman and philanthropist Judith M. Krupnick, president of Cherry Hill Volvo, will receive our Pillar of the Community Award;

 

United States Senator John Fetterman, D-PA, will receive our Defender of Israel Award (he will deliver remarks via video);

 

Rabbi Ira Flax, of Har Zion Temple’s clergy team, will receive our Guardian of Israel Award;

 

University of Pennsylvania senior Noah Rubin will receive our The Future Is Now Award and he will also be our keynote speaker;

 

WPHT Radio talk-show hosts Dom Giordano and Rich Zeoli will each receive our Ben Hecht Award for Outstanding Journalism – and they will share master-of-ceremonies duties.

 

In addition: ZOA National President Morton A. Klein will deliver his annual Philadelphia remarks.

 

Also: The Jerusalem Israeli Gift Shop will present a pop-up boutique for you to purchase last-minute items for the upcoming Yom Tovim and Chagim, plus early Chanukah items and gifts, as well as assorted exceptional Judaica and jewelry.

 

We are looking forward to an exceptional evening after what has been a deadly and trying year.
