HOLLYWOOD, Fla., November 6, 2025 — Over 300 young Jewish leaders and philanthropists ages 22-40 united with nearly 3,000 Zionists from October 23–26, 2025, at The Diplomat Hotel in Hollywood, Florida, for Jewish National Fund-USA’s sold-out Global Conference for Israel, one of the world’s premier gatherings for philanthropy, advocacy, and Zionist engagement.
In addition to intimate breakout discussions, attendees heard keynote addresses by esteemed speakers from across the globe, including Jewish National Fund-USA Chief Executive Officer Russell F. Robinson and President Deb Lust Zaluda, Journalist & New York Times bestselling author Douglas Murray, released Hamas hostage Omer Shem Tov, and the organization’s partners who are turning Israel’s North and South into an oasis.
The participants, many of whom are part of Jewish National Fund-USA’s JNFuture community of young professionals, also experienced the organization’s immersive Israel EXPO, which featured over 100 interactive exhibits, Israeli innovators, and small businesses while highlighting the organization’s vital work in sustainability, security, food-tech, and resilience—from beautified bomb shelters and water innovations to new housing in Israel’s North and South.
“We’re not just rebuilding the country, but also shaping the narrative that will help secure its existence moving forward,” said JNFuture President Danielle Hankin. “As the future of an organization that is so integral to Israel, it’s important that we continue to grow and empower young people to be leaders and be there to make sure Israel is there not just for us but for our children.”
Additionally, JNFuture donor society members attended an exclusive appreciation luncheon featuring Erin Molan, one of Australia’s most prominent TV and radio presenters and an outspoken Israel advocate. The leaders also mentored university students attending Jewish National Fund-USA’s College Summit, providing career advice and guidance on how to stay involved with any local Jewish community they may end up in.
“We are the next generation of leaders,” said Global Conference for Israel JNFuture Co-chair Aly Robinson. “We are the ones who are going to be in the boardrooms in the coming years, and this is setting the stage for us to have a future and have a voice now and share with leadership what we see to be the future of Israel.”
JNFuture is a vibrant community of Jewish National Fund-USA’s young philanthropists committed to supporting the land and people of Israel. From restoring heritage sites and planting trees to building new communities in the Negev and Galilee, JNFuture members are part of a broader movement to attract 800,000 new residents to Israel’s frontier regions through strategic investments in housing, employment, and infrastructure.
It’s the investment Jewish National Fund-USA makes in the future leader of tomorrow,” said Global Conference for Israel JNFuture Co-chair Jason Zenner. “To develop these leaders and give them the tools to find their future with the organization.”
