International producer, actress and pro-Israel activist Noa Tishby will headline 2023 Lion of Judah Luncheon, hosted by the Jewish Federation of South Palm Beach County’s Dorothy P. Seaman Department of Women’s Philanthropy.
The event will be held at 10:45 a.m. on Wednesday, February 1, 2023, at The Polo Club of Boca Raton.
This year, Tishby, author of “Israel, A Simple Guide to the Most Misunderstood Country on Earth,” became Israel’s first Special Envoy for Combatting Antisemitism and Delegitimization.
Part of an international sisterhood 18,000 women strong, South Palm Beach County’s Lion contingent of more than 700 is among the largest in the country. Event Chair Shirley Weisman, along with Women’s Philanthropy Chair Elyssa Kupferberg and Vice Chair Shelly Snyder, have planned an engaging program to match the excitement that Tishby is sure to bring.
“Noa’s work of raising awareness of the significance of Israel and the disturbing rise in antisemitism make her an amazing choice for our signature event,” said Weisman.
A minimum individual woman’s gift of $5,000 to the 2023 UJA/Jewish Federation of South Palm Beach County Annual Campaign is required to attend, along with a couvert of $125.
