The Jerusalem Fund’s 47th Anniversary Gala
The Jerusalem Fund will be commemorating its 47th Anniversary Gala also in Chicago, Illinois on Sunday, May 19th, 2024. This year, our gala is devoted to supporting The Jerusalem Fund’s Gaza Emergency Appeal, amidst the heart-wrenching plight of our brothers and sisters in the Gaza Strip, who are enduring a genocide of unprecedented proportions in the 21st century. As bombs relentlessly rain down, destroying lives, homes, and entire cities and neighborhoods, leaving millions displaced and hundreds of thousands teetering on the edge of starvation and famine, battling dehydration, and disease, we gather with a renewed sense of purpose. Our collective effort this year is to honor the valiant sacrifices of our people in Gaza, joining forces to deliver urgently needed relief and support. Together, we aim to ease their profound suffering and kindle a ray of hope amid these profoundly dark times.
