Join Jewish National Fund-USA for our annual Breakfast for Israel to hear about our critical work, and how donors like YOU have made a difference. Hear from guest speaker, Marina Furman, a Russian Israeli American and former Soviet refusenik, who has spent her life defending freedom, Jewish identity, and Zionism. Marina will speak on why supporting a strong and secure Israel is essential as we face the rising tide of anti-Semitism, and how JNF-USA is playing an integral role in reframing the conversation on Zionism.
