At a time when Jewish communities are seeking strength, connection, and purpose, Jewish National Fund-USA will unite philanthropists in the Ohio Valley on Thursday, May 7, 2026, at 8:30 am for a morning of solidarity and inspiration at its annual Breakfast for Israel in Cincinnati.
The event’s featured speaker is Ambassador Ido Aharoni Aronoff. As Israel's longest-serving Consul General in New York and the tri-state area, Aharoni oversaw Israel’s largest diplomatic mission from 2010-2016 and is one of the world’s foremost experts in public diplomacy and nation branding. Aronoff provides expert analysis on a variety of topics, including global affairs, U.S.-Israel relations, diplomacy, and national security.
Attendees will also learn how Jewish National Fund-USA is securing Israel's future by creating the most livable towns and cities in the country's North and South and how the organization provided logistical, security, fire trucks, and medical equipment to strengthen Israel’s Home Front during the war with Iran.
“For 125 years, Jewish National Fund-USA has been on the ground, working directly with these frontier communities as a trusted and dependable long-term partner,” said Event Chair Morry Wiener. “Today, our decades of preparation and strategy have protected the people of Israel as they were targeted by missiles from the Iranian regime and its proxies. The annual Breakfast for Israel brings together individuals from our local community who are committed to making a difference for the land and the people of Israel, and events like this remind us of the power we have when we stand united.”
