On May 16, 2024, 300 community members united at the Mayerson JCC for Jewish National Fund-USA’s Breakfast for Israel in Cincinnati. Chaired by local philanthropist Morry Wiener, the complementary community breakfast featured keynote speaker Elie Klein, the North American Director of Development and Jewish National Fund-USA Liaison for ADI Negev-Nahalat Eran, a Jewish National Fund-USA-supported state-of-the-art rehabilitative facility for Israelis with developmental disabilities. Local lay leaders also discussed Jewish National Fund-USA’s Israel Resilience Campaign, which has raised nearly $60 million since October 7, 2023, supporting the evacuation and relocation of tens of thousands of residents in Israel’s south while providing thousands more with housing, food, clothing, and other supplies. They also learned how the campaign’s Build Together plan is restoring the Israel Envelope communities so displaced families can return home with comfort and peace of mind.
