For years, The Jerusalem Post has been releasing its list of the 50 Most Influential Jews of the year.
This year, for the first time, the exclusive 50 Most Influential Jews gala is set to celebrate the honorees and their impact on the Jewish world, Israel and beyond.
The event, organized at the dazzling Carlton Tel Aviv Hotel, features red-carpet interviews with several winners, as well as an awards ceremony on the main stage.
Keynote speakers include ministers Amichai Chikli and Ofir Sofer; MK Benny Gantz, chairman of the National Unity Party; Israeli Olympic athlete and world champion Inbar Lanir; former US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman; and H.E. Ahmed Obaid Al Mansoori, the founder of the Crossroads of Civilizations Museums in the United Arab Emirates.
Philanthropists Sylvan Adams and Eitan Neishlos; entrepreneur Asaf Kohan; and Jewish leaders Sam Grundwerg (Keren Hayesod), Yaakov Hagoel (World Zionist Organization), Doron Almog (Jewish Agency), and Eric Fingerhut (Jewish Federations of North America) are also set to speak.
The event also marks a celebration of the honorees included in the 25 Young ViZionaries list powered by JNF-USA, paying tribute to young Zionist activists from Israel and across the globe. JNF-USA CEO Russell Robinson will introduce the awards.
“In the past few years, The Jerusalem Post has become not only a newspaper but the gateway, between Israel and the world through our dynamic and exclusive events,” said Inbar Ashkenazi, CEO of the Jerusalem Post Group.
“The 50 Most Influential Jews VIP gala is expected to start a tradition that will celebrate the positive influence of Jews everywhere in the world,” she added.
