One Israel Fund Dinner

“We set out to achieve to get away from the dinner concept and move to a more relaxed cocktail party atmosphere. It lends itself to a very laid back and enjoyable atmosphere. People enjoy coming to the dinner,” says One Israel Fund Executive Vice President

Scott Feltman.

The ambiance at Bridgewaters at South Street Seaport on Wednesday March 14 was somewhat of a street fair. Art sale, Israeli wine tasting, food stations throughout, and Artists 4 Israel, a grassroots organization featuring graffiti artists who are passionate Zionists, created a mural on the spot on the terrace to be used as a backdrop later on in the evening.

“Although somewhat of a logistical problem, we were fortunate to have sixty walkups at the dinner, an indication of growing support, “ says Feltman. “John Batchelor, our keynote speaker was well received by the dinner guests and Ben Brafman, who was the evening’s master of ceremonies ,did a fabulous job as always,” Feltman added.

Five Towns’ Howard and Fayge Feder, and Jerry and Essie Meyer were recipients of the Keter Shem Tov and Hakarat Hatov

awards respectively.
