From the President

As we continue navigating this pivotal moment for Israel and the Jewish people, Jewish National Fund-USA remains steadfast in our mission to build a strong, vibrant, and resilient future for our homeland and its people. Across Israel, we are helping communities rebuild and recover, supporting critical infrastructure and resilience initiatives, strengthening Zionist engagement, and ensuring that families impacted by war and terror know they are not alone.

Here in Orlando, our community continues to answer the call with extraordinary leadership, generosity, and unity. Through educational programs, community events, and philanthropic support, we are seeing firsthand the deep commitment our community has to Israel’s future and to Jewish continuity.

One recent example was our Women for Israel (WFI) event, which brought together community members for an inspiring evening focused on Jewish pride, advocacy, and connection to Israel. We were proud to honor outgoing WFI co-chairs Leah Silver and Debbie Meitin for their years of dedicated leadership and service, while welcoming incoming co-chairs Debra Hoffen and Robin Katzman as they begin their leadership roles and help guide WFI into its next chapter.

Thank you to everyone who continues to stand with Jewish National Fund-USA and with Israel. Together, we are not only responding to the challenges of today, but helping shape a stronger tomorrow for generations to come.

Dr. Michael Beim President, Orlando Board of Directors
