Please join the New Israel Fund in celebrating four decades of progressive social change in Israel at our 40th Anniversary Gala on Wednesday, September 25th, 2019 at the Hyatt Regency Cambridge. Gather with pioneering donors, our next generation of supporters, and everyone in between. Together, we will celebrate the past forty years of work promoting human and civil rights, religious freedom, equality, and social justice for all of Israel’s citizens, and look towards the next forty years.

This year it is our privilege to honor NIF International Council member Bonnie Orlin and New Generations leader Emily Kates. We are also delighted to celebrate Daniel Sokatch, in recognition of his tenth year at the helm of NIF. The evening will also feature a performance by Israeli comedian Noam Shuster Eliassi.

For questions and more information, please contact us at [email protected]

We look forward to sharing the evening with you!
